Ask HN: What Are the Main Principles That Make You Appreciate Someone's Content?

3•cryptography•2h ago
Hey everyone!

I'm doing a small research project for my studies to better understand what makes certain accounts go viral. What actually makes them stand out? Is it mostly about the content itself, or does the creator’s background/personality play a big role?

I know this is a broad question, but I’d really appreciate it if you could share a few things that make you enjoy someone’s content — and maybe even follow them. What grabs your attention and keeps you coming back?

Thanks in advance!

A certain simplicity.

There is a simplicity that is pure genius, and then there is the noise of everyone trying to sound like geniuses

It’s like some people are naturally good at haiku. It’s simple, it’s catchy, if you can pull it off without being obviously wrong it is pleasing.

“Keeps coming back” is the mistaken angle, “recognizes and doesn’t mind what else … has to say” is more like it.

What makes me enjoy someone's content is each sentence written evaluating to true.

There are quite a lot of AI's inner workings articles which make it way too complicated to understand. Few months ago, I found this article which I was able to read till the end and fully understand it:

https://www.quantamagazine.org/how-can-ai-id-a-cat-an-illust...

I think it's perfect example of making complex things easier to understand.

I appreciate a discussion of alternatives and historical context. Most engineers understand that literally anything that is computable can be computed on a turing-complete machine. The hard part is making the decision: why this way and not some other way? If the only tool you know is a hammer, you don't want to read about yet another way to smack a nail. You want a nail gun.
