I'm also frustrated with these threads and believe they violate HN's guidelines.
As per the guidelines, articles on-topic if they "gratify one's intellectual curiosity". [0] Yet these are so often rehashed arguments attached to a personal anecdote!
Personal stories of leaving Google search for DDG, Chrome for Brave, etc. are countless, and I can't see what ideas could be presented that are novel or stimulating.
The comments are always exactly the same as well!

- computerex 7y agoI think that's being unfair and a rather misclassification of the HackerNews guidelines. I don't think this violates the guidelines at all, and I think it'd be very difficult, if not impossible, for you to prove that this post does not "gratify one's intellectual curiosity". This isn't merely a meme, it's a well reasoned and though out post. Personally I found it intellectually gratifying and I liked it.
