  The "First Round Review" is an embarrassment, they push out content-free fluffy valley conventional wisdom every day or so, an unfortunate number of which make it to the HN front page for some reason.

    I agree that there's a lot of valley fluff, but some of the content on there is really good: http://firstround.com/review/heres-what-a-real-growth-strategy-looks-like-road-tested-by-facebook-and-remind/ http://firstround.com/review/heres-what-a-real-growth-strate...

    I'm confused as to why this made the front page (and is still there). The content isn't new or noteworthy. I suspect some strategic upvoting but maybe I'm just paranoid.

      See what you did there? You called attention to the strategic upvoting. Which means you get downvoted. Welcome to real HN where groupthink is the only think.

        Couldn't care less about karma tbh.
