When it comes to finding product market fit (and providing feedback into if it exists) sometimes it helps to consider whether or not you are in that market.

"I get a lot of value from HN: it's fast, doesn't require an app, curating is done by real people and the comments add a lot. I'd be curious to learn what types of content your product surfaces that's different from HN?"

You guys should be focused on getting as much feedback as possible and all these walls means you are focusing on the wrong things too early.
Also, nit, the headline of your site should be "A For You Page for Reading"
