Time and time we are proven again and again that Facebook has become the emblem of how far technology can go to support pure malicious intention with widespread support.
- JohnFen 7y agoIndeed. Facebook is one of the scummiest tech companies in existence.
- option 7y agofacebook is not a tech company. What new tech did it invent? It is exploiting human psychology for advertising purposes using previously existing tech

- mmanfrin 7y agoReact, yarn, cassandra. Looking at the first page of your comment history, it seems a good third of your comments get downvoted. It may be wise to reread the HN guidelines: https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html

- usr1106 7y agoIt's on page 2 but in grey font. What does that mean? 164 points after 2 hours. Many downvotes by GDPR haters??? Edit: s/at the moment/after 2 hours/
- hellofunk 7y agoI think the grey text is something else -- like if it was already visited before or you upvoted it or something. I checked on two different browsers and it was gray on one but not on the other, so who knows.
- usr1106 7y agoYou are correct. It's the rendering applied by my Firefox, because I had visited the page before. (Outside of hn, someone sent me the link earlier)
- askytb 7y agoAs far as I know HN downranks threads with a high comment to upvote ratio, and this one probably fell under the threshold
