What are you talking about? I posted this fairly late after reading through the comments. It was upvoted all the way to the top. I'd say that's pretty substantiated.
- dang 11y agoSnark, indignation, and drama always get upvoted. That is a bug in human nature, not evidence of comment quality. HN is a site that tries to care about quality and thus is not driven solely by upvotes. Think of it as a constitutional democracy. I said your comment was unsubstantive (not 'unsubstantiated') because it didn't contain any information, just a snarky putdown of hypothetical other users. Such a comment is merely a status move and those are always uninteresting, despite their popularity.
- horsecaptin 11y agoThat's a fair point. Much appreciate the explanation.
