Wow. This article is killing me with its Gell-Mann Amnesia effects. It's like reading a history from an alternate timeline.
And why doesn't the included Twitter bot link work?
https://twitter.com/youtubeartifacts https://twitter.com/youtubeartifacts?
And of, course, the linked youtube video is some obvious corporate pop famous-for-being-famous drivel, almost immediately after stating the following:
Two years later, the artist Takeshi Murata
created “Monster Movie,” which blended footage
from a 1981 B-movie and a heavy soundtrack and
which is now in the permanent collection at the
Smithsonian as perhaps the most influential
piece in the datamosh canon.
And yet a better Youtube link is avoided:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t1f3St51S9I https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t1f3St51S9I
But why?

- DanBC 8y agoPlease don't use spaces to quote blocks of text. Please do anything but that. Most people put a single > at the start of each paragraph of quoted text.
- LeifCarrotson 8y agoYou can also surround the text block in asterisks to put it in italics: > Two years later, the artist Takeshi Murata created “Monster Movie,” which blended footage from a 1981 B-movie and a heavy soundtrack and which is now in the permanent collection at the Smithsonian as perhaps the most influential piece in the datamosh canon.
- musage 8y agoIt can be fixed in CSS. Add scrollbars to <pre> on small viewports, or have it wrap on small viewports. Opera Mini could do magic with forcing text to wrap on small displays, why are mobile browsers shit today? If you don't want this to be usable on an actual computer, why not make HN an app and be done with it? Comments could become even shorter and more inane than they generally are already.
- glitcherator 8y agoIn a thread about glitches, you're seriously asking people to respect formatting so that it feels less glitchy?
- phyzome 8y agoUntil HN adds first-class support for blockquotes, there is no "right way to do it".
- anonytrary 8y agoI use ">" because most people on HN can read raw markdown. Other people use HN code-blocks because they more closely resemble the indentation that ">" produces in markdown. I can't fathom why one method would be vastly preferred over another, or why it needs to be policed like this.
- boojums 8y agoCode blocks tend to be a pain to read on mobile. I would guess that is where the poster is coming from.
- anonytrary 8y agoFair point, you must be talking about the annoying sideways scrolling.
- gregsadetsky 8y agoThe Verge article should have linked to https://twitter.com/youtubeartifact https://twitter.com/youtubeartifact (with no 's' at the end)
- glitcherator 8y agoAh, nice!
