Christ, I hate social media.
- tqi 8y agoHow do you feel about HN?
- droptablemain 8y agoWell, I'm here, aren't I? :-) HN has almost nothing in common with Instagram and Facebook.
- gcb0 8y agowould feel better if they showed "Ad" next to the fixed posts and if uBlockOrigin was able to hide them ;) other than that, I welcome our new startup investiment sentiment data harvesting overlords.
- meruru 8y agoBetter culturally than most, but too much of a timesink to be a net-positive for society.
- HNLurker2 8y agoCan't tell if sunk cost fallacy or honest. Do you use IG/other social media?
- meruru 8y agoNo. I follow a lot of blogs and feel the same way about most of them as I do about HN. I do not feel that way about truly high-quality blogs. By the way, RSS is the best thing ever. I also use IRC whenever I have some question or need help with something and it's great. I never feel my time spent on IRC is a waste, but my usage of it is quite focused and I don't hang out in rooms compulsively like I do on HN.
