    That’s my guess as well. And the post default sorting by “active” means the top posts usually have a lot more staying power compared to reddit.

    Didn’t see much here that made me roll my eyes and think:“That made me feel dumber for reading it.”, whereas on reddit that’s pretty much every big thread.

      That staying power is a blessing and a curse. Sometimes you’re looking for fresh content. Top Hour is marvelous. So is New Comments. :)

        I think it encourages you to seek out other interesting communities when you want to see something different.
