Because I have no interest in reading them, so from my point of view they would be polluting the newsfeed and making it more difficult to find interesting articles.

If they are getting buried then that would kind of prove my point that readers of HN don't want to see them here.
> I don't get your hostility toward AMA.
I'm not hostile, I just have no personal interest in them. As I said, Reddit is the perfect place for them because those who want to read them can go the AMA sub Reddit and read them and those who don't can ignore them. Then everyone is happy.
TBH I don't really understand why you would want them on HN. Surely it's better for those who like them for them to be on a sub Reddit. That way, when you fancy reading an AMA you can just go to the sub Reddit and browse AMA's to your hearts content.
You know, it's not that hard to skip over articles that you aren't interested in. If enough others are that it makes it to the front page, then by definition it is the kind of thing that people here are interested in. I myself am only interested in maybe 5% of the articles that make it to the front page; I suspect I'm not alone in that.
