This is often true, but do you seriously think "Wow, man. How have I not heard of this software sooner?!" is worth registering an account for and posting? You don't even say thanks to the submitter.
It's a useless post for anyone who doesn't come to HN to read about what software you are personally un/aware of.
Posts like "+1" or "Thanks" or "this" or "woah" (without any other content) are probably better expressed by just upvoting the post you're grateful for/agree with.
Since you complained about downvotes, your post is now one the most upvoted in the thread with 10+ karma. That's ridiculous.
- Gracana 10y ago> You don't even say thanks to the submitter. Ohhh, don't do that. I thanked a submitter once because I enjoyed their post and nobody had commented, and that earned me downvotes and a patronizing response about why such things aren't welcome here.
- quirkafleeg 10y agoYeah, but if he's going to the trouble of signing up here just to say how he didn't know about the software before, the least he could do is say thanks to the one who helped him find it.
