We were in the middle of the front page of HN and /r/programming for roughly the same amount of time last week. HN sent 3,801 hits; Reddit sent... 216, according to Google Analytics. Do they somehow block the referer header or something? I don't believe adblock is that prevelant.

Intuitively, I think the very high drop-off from reddit below #1 makes sense. Here's what's above the fold for me when I visit reddit vs. HN: 0.9 links vs. 18.5 links.pic.twitter.com/JFJ2qg9kcv

I don't read r/prog so I hadn't noticed how the reddit re-design impacted it. 7 out of the top 15 stories have giant cards (5 YT videos, 2 tweets). 100% of the highly upvoted stories have cards. Here are the next four screens below the fold, only one doesn't have a huge card.pic.twitter.com/f5h3yzzPmE
