Allow me to suggest that such comparisons are tacky in the extreme, and could only be made by someone who has not seen the toll that drug addiction takes on addicts and their families and friends. Meditate on that.
- wlkr 11y agoI came to post a similar comment. I wouldn't demand the original article title be changed, but I think the HN link title should be changed because it's very misleading.
- noxToken 11y agoExtreme or not, it's a tacky comparison period. I don't deny that people can get addicted to information and learning. I've seen coworkers get absolutely obsessed over some piece of tech or a new service that would "revolutionize everything." Blatantly titling your article that you are addiction and implying that you are addicted with the opening text is gross.This is a clickbait title with a clickbait intro into light reading article that is not about crippling addiction. I'm all for attention grabbign headlines, but this is just tasteless.
