This is a really shitty thing to say, which you clearly understand. The 90/9/1 comes in to play here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1%25_rule_(Internet_culture

This is a really shitty thing to say, which you clearly understand. The 90/9/1 comes in to play here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1%25_rule_(Internet_culture) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1%25_rule_(Internet_culture) I have found that even sites like HN don't skew significantly far from this. As users, we can't know who the 90% of people are who read this site and never post. But there are definitely 9 times more people commenting than creating. As an open source project maintainer myself, I have absolutely zero time to go talk shit about my competitors, even if I had shit to say about them.
