I honestly thought this is bad writing. It jumps from one idea to the next without bringing any of them to the conclusion. One quote too many, maybe? And too many paragraphs that are meant to catch and arounse the reader's interest?
I guess this is the style of writing needed to catch the attention of millions of followers. Am I mistaken?
I've stopped reading this after 5 minutes. I've reallly tried, though.
Edit: Downvotes expected for an honest opinion. That's fine :)
- Kiro 7y agoRegarding your edit: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=16131314 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=16131314 In other words, it's completely OK to downvote opinions. I think it's wrong but I don't make the rules here.
- PudgePacket 7y agoYou're probably getting voted down because you're not really adding anything valuable to the discussion. If you think the submitted article is bad just vote it down and move on.
- marktangotango 7y agoHuh? Are you able to downvote articles at your current level of karma? I cannot and I have than you (ie immediate parent to this comment).
- molteanu 7y agoNope, I cannot.
- AnimalMuppet 7y agoNeither can I, at my level. I don't think anyone can. (Of course, there are those with a lot more than me. Maybe they can... but I doubt it. So far as I know, the only real level in karma is at 500, when you can downvote comments.)
- floodyberry- 7y agoThe article is merely the author bloviating about himself for attention (which appears to be his main goal in life). Unless everyone else here is also "famous" and giving each other tips on how to deal with it, there is no useful discussion to be had other than informing everyone their attention is being grifted
