There are comments elsewhere in this thread that complain that they do harm the user experience.
For example:
"I [...] generally very much appreciate the lack of [deleted] a la reddit." https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23623158
I also agree; I read old Reddit threads reasonably often, and it's intensely frustrating to read exactly half of a conversation.
HN's randomized usernames compromise is really nice and I'm very happy with it.
