I am so disappointed to see this on the first page of HN.
- mechanical_fish 18y agoI looked at the title of the article. I said "I'm certainly not clicking that. Linkbait city." Then I said to myself: "You know, I bet the top-rated comment on this link is something like 'I am shocked, shocked to find this on the front page of news.yc'." So I had to click through, just to find out. And now I feel kind of dirty. If first-order porn is, well, porn... and second-order porn is trolling (posting links to porn and watching eagerly as people self-righteously denounce them) what the hell did I just do? Third-order metaporn. Eeeeewwwww.
