This has such a linkbait headline. This is some completely uninteresting drama about, at least to me. But the headline is such that my impulse is to click on it. I guess that makes me weak. But why do people upvote shit like this in the first place? Do people really care about some squabble TechCrunch are having with some other crowd? Is this really actually interesting to hackers? I really hate when I come here and I see headlines like this on the front page. This is not what I come here for.
- alain94040 16y agoAlthough you are at -2, I'll answer you anyway. It's interesting to me because it shows me how things really work inside. Deconstructing stuff to find out how it works is part of hacking. Now I understand better how Forture gets an exclusive and how they go around and ask blogs to cover and promote it, and how bloggers think when they receive such offers.
- duairc 16y agoWell, thank you for responding anyway. I knew I was going to get downvoted for that comment, I just felt I needed to say it. To be honest I have no idea who Fortune are or what any of this is about really, so I was never in a position to comment on whether or not this is interesting. Fair enough if it is actually something interesting. I just find linkbait headlines like that in really bad taste and it disappoints me when I see a lot of them on the frontpage.
