I believe it is, cause on HN we'll see different kind of responses compared to reddit.

#16- A lot of people watch it with no background knowledge and subsequently don’t quite understand the “best film ever” label, but Citizen Kane is indeed a fantastic film. Just read about Orson Welles first.
- Most religious books that have stood the test of time have lived up to the hype. The Bible (especially certain books like Ecclesiastes or Proverbs), The Quran, The Upanishads, to name a few. Again, don’t just go in blind, or you’ll walk away thinking none of it makes any sense.
- Lifting weights is indeed worth the hype, and its benefits are more diffuse than just “being able to lift heavy things.”
- In terms of old books that are made into modern sci-fi films, I’ve found Philip K. Dick to be absolutely worth the hype. Don’t think I’ve read a bad story by him.

#18How about Radiohead's 2007 album In Rainbows?
Maybe OK Computer too, but I don't know how much hype there were because I was too young then...

#19Haskell typeclasses. They really are interfaces that don’t leak. Solid state disks. Huge speed boost.
Interesting, i've haven't seen hype for Haskell type classes, is there anywhere I can see the hype for this on the internet?

#20When the M1 chip was introduced I was a bit underwhelmed. Apple being so vague about their performance didn't exactly inspire confidence.
But as more information has come out it seems like the hype has actually increased.
