I personally see a lot of news that's been "forgotten" quickly, because I prefer getting the RSS feed rather than relying on the front page of HN. Of course, I get a lot of noise (submissions with only 2 points and no comments) but I still feel that I get a lot of value from them, regardless of their actual popularity.
