insulting the scribd product is somewhat unfair, imho. it's not that the product is inherently bad or something. maybe someone finds it useful (ycombinator owners apparently think so). i certainly don't, so i use my greasemonkey script to route around it. all that said, i'm somewhat puzzled with the decision to enforce the scribdification here on HN. isn't it a bad PR for scribd? does it really generate enough positive effects to justify the obvious negative effects? not trying to troll or something, just really curious.
