> As they are now, reddit and HN are require you to be there when something is "current", and that's ultimately not that much better than TV.
One thing I don't think people have addressed is that that's the goal for them; it's not necessarily to be "useful" to the end user. If they can make users feel like they have to be on reddit 24/7 to stay "current" and not miss anything, then they will. Facebook does the same thing.
