As I said, all hail HN's hypocrisy. When we have a slight sarcasm or a small joke we all downvote it. Then why do you think this belongs here, this is the type of thing we try to avoid in those sarcasm or jokes. You see, the joke and sarcasms should be OK if we are a community shouldn't they be? But we are a community which tries to generate high quality content related to hacking and startups. I don't think this is at all related to any of those things. If you want to put up with this, why not put up with nonsensical sarcasm?
- ErrantX 16y agoIn my experience... genuinely funny original jokes get upvotes. The same tired old memes or the "obvious" line are not. But this is "Merry Christmas" which, if you think about it, is a holiday almost all of us (globally) share :)
- nitrogen 16y agoPerhaps the upvote heuristic used by the HN hive mind is a bit more complex than you initially believed?
- rick_2047 16y agoNaah, its just a hypocrite and does what it feels like doing.
- vanni 16y agoSo true, Rick. So boring those downvoters. They upvote "Thanks!", "Merry Christmas!", "Topbar is red!" and downvote criticisms on karma distortion and off-topicity. Mmh...
