Not really. It's an ongoing discussion sparked by the number of articles that appear on the front page that are deeply related to the economics of the tech industry. It interests me. If genuine comments responding to articles from a particular and consistent point of view are unwanted I can stop.
Everytime I log in something like this is at the top of the front page. Even now this is there: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=17804202 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=17804202
I understand your concerns and as it's not my platform fair enough. Will do better.

Fair and noted.
- dang 8y agoI appreciate the polite response very much. The issue isn't this discussion or any one discussion, it's the pattern of using HN primarily for political arguments. The test here is that word 'primarily'. This is the only way we've found to draw a line that fairly balances the concerns: that on the one hand many on-topic stories have political aspects, but on the other hand political flamewars will burn everything up if you let them... so we can't let them. I've posted other explanations of our thinking about this, in case it's of interest: https://hn.algolia.com/?amp;sort=byDate&dateRange=all&type=comment&storyText=false&prefix=false&page=0&query=by:dang%20primarily%20line https://hn.algolia.com/?amp;sort=byDate&dateRange=all&am....
