I just upvoted this article and now I feel dirty. I did it because I agree with it and want to sock one to those Apple fanboys, but there just isn't any substance here. Normally I upvote something because I think its interesting and (or) I want to see what the rest of the HN community says about it. Upvoting to agree, or to express an opinion not about the article itself, seems to be a problem in need of addressing in social news sites.
- chrisbroadfoot 19y agoI agree, upvoting, IMO should only happen for interesting/controversial/informative posts. Rhetoric isn't so interesting... It says nothing new.
- tlrobinson 19y agoAgreed. Voting up things to express opinions is exactly why Reddit became overrun with Ron Paul posts. I'd rather not see Hacker News devolve into OS/browser/editor/etc wars.
