You may have a point, but luckily there is a self-correcting mechanism in place: writing takes time and a little effort, and will compete with other activities (including fun).
I suspect that if you do something like that you soon develop a filter mechanism so that you really write only things that deserve a little effort, and the rest remains "in your head", so to speak.
- insoluble 11y agoHopefully this is true, but I could imagine an obsessive person feeling obliged to write all thoughts or otherwise not to miss anything. I feel that the Web is filled with low-quality thoughts from persons who wrote on impulse rather than reserving writing for those thoughts having value. Having a personal habit of watching one's writing could in theory help the world by minimising garbage. HN is a pretty good example of deliberate writing, at least as compared to most places.
