The herd mentality I am seeing regarding recent Apple announcements, from a supposedly intelligent, introspective group of people on HN, is frankly disappointing.
- forgottenpass 10y agoWhat? You're kidding, right? HN is almost always a herd. The only thing the Apple announcements have going for them are that multiple herds are clashing.
- cknoxrun 10y agoYou may be right, I think I am able to generally filter out FUD posts, and there is still a high concentration of quality exchanges that I enjoy. My comment stemmed from the fact that I've noticed this trend to be more extreme than usual in this case.
- chmaynard 10y agoAgreed. On Hacker News, it often seems as if everyone has an opinion about everything and feels compelled to share it immediately, without doing any investigative work or deep thinking first. It's a race to the bottom.
