Poll: Of the HN articles that interest you, what percent do you read?
11–20 of 25 posts
I use Evernote to collect useful and interesting articles and links I see during weekdays to read them on weekend or when I have some free time. And clip to Evernote the full articles that I think will be useful someday.

#14Start to tell somebody about a cool story I read on HN. Realize I only read the comments.

Yeah, I sometimes skim articles that cover familiar ground to see the authors take, then read most of the comments on HN.
I prefer the HN comments to the on-page comments for obvious reasons.

#16Depends on the day. On days when I'm both not at a consulting site and don't hit flow early in the day, I'll cop to "all of them that I find interesting, and some of the ones that I might not but which had good comments."
I wish there was a way to see what stories you (and a few other HN members) found interesting. That would help me build out my weekly Hacker Newsletter!

#17Updated with a choice for HN comments

#18It depends on how busy my week is, but I tend to at least start reading everything that is of interest. Sometimes I don't finish them if they don't live up to what I was expecting and for certain stories I just read the comments as I might learn more from that.
With my side project (Hacker Newsletter), I tend to also read articles that, while not relevant to me, would be something that my subscriber base would find interesting.

Request granted, I added a choice for HN Comments.

#20Recently, I've ignored all stories that start with the word 'Why', have the word 'myths' in it or gives advice about what I should do in the title since they are almost always linkbait.
I wish I understood the motivations behind people posting linkbait, especially when the website being posted has no ads or anything on it. Is it just to gain karma?
