Huh, that's weird, when I used to use reddit often, I didn't care at all which users are posting the content.
Its a part of why I liked it, if the content is good, it doesn't matter if you have zero followers, or a superhero, you just post it into the right subreddit.
I needed subreddit-specfic user descriptions to know that a user is the developer or whatever, the person posting the content was never important.
Same thing with HN, there are always exceptions, but the user posting the comment/link doesn't have to be important on such platforms, reddit isn't Twitter.
