“Everything is actually terrible” is arguably the most popular topic on HN.
- rumanator 7y agoIn a world that's bombarded with PR teams dedicated to pass the message that product X is by far the best thing ever, posts pointing out that product X actually has downsides are more than welcomed. Otherwise, the PR people are the only ones doing the talking.
- AmericanChopper 7y agoI wasn’t talking exclusively about products at all. But even then, I don’t see a moral high ground in pushing negative hyperbole as a response to a perceived excess of positive hyperbole. Both seem equally fallacious to me.
