The critique of HN seems off-base. The low-contrast comments are the ones that are downvoted and therefore the low-contrast is there specifically to make them less readable because they ostensibly deserve less attention.


That isn't a downvoted comment in the screen shot, that's the topic text as in https://qht.co/item?id=9441500


It also applies to the text of self-posts (tell/ask HN), which is what Contrast Rebellion points out.


I think that is also intentional, to discourage self posts.


I swap the margin and main-body colors of HN:

They end up standing out to me, and I always end up reading them.
