It's amazing how few commenters seem to show any comprehension of the article.
- xchip 10y agoNo wonder given low wheat/chaff ratio this article has. Most people are working and can only quickly scan through it trying to find the main points. If the smart people in ycombinator get the wrong point it probably means the article was poorly written.
- saturdaysaint 10y agoMost of the comments seem indicative of an exceptionally poor scan, or at least a scan optimized for a Vox article or Reddit ELIF thread. I also scanned the article and thought it was obvious that the point was far afield from "headphones/technology bad" - just read the first sentence of the first four paragraphs and the shape of the argument is pretty easy to intuit. I don't have time to get into the meaning of a sharp uptick in headphone usage either, but shitcomments that are obviously reactions to the photo caption are the real chaff here.
