Honest curiosity, how do you feel about Marketers, Salespeople, and Recruiters (people usually associated with good looks and high-level social skills) joining HN en masse and commenting regularly over the last few years?
- logfromblammo 9y agoEnvious, mostly. I can't exactly blame the dice if I got a lower Charisma roll than theirs. It's a mistake to believe that society should be fair when it is so heavily influenced by random factors. I don't interact with that type very much in person, as they tend to ignore or rebuff me when I approach them, and they only engage or approach me when they think they can make money by doing so. So they're sort of like animatronic people, I guess? You have to buy a ticket, but then they just read to you from a script. I'm old enough now to know that nothing stays the same forever. Slashdot got sold to Dice. The H in HN got diluted. So what? I can't control it, so I just enjoy it for what it is while it lasts, and will drift away whenever it no longer feels right.
