In every HN comment section, there's always, 100% of the time, at least one person who only reads the title of the piece (in this case, a song lyric from The Verve) and still has the nerve to post a comment.
- wayneftw 6y agoSo what? The headline is dumb. Nothing wrong with pointing that out and saying why. The fact that you say you read the article and this attack was your best comment... well I’d say one of these comments is basically worthless and it’s not the guy who pointed out the problem with the title. Furthermore, a lot of people go to the comments first for a variety of reasons. Nothing wrong with that either.

- justnotworthit 6y agoThere must be a dozen or two "100% of the time" comments. Collect them all and make a mock/parody HN thread.
- hudibras 6y ago* Cryptocurrency * Fiat currency * Economics is not a real science * I understand what the author is trying to say, but I don't like how he says it * I didn't read the piece, but website that published it is problematic * The title is clickbait, and I'm unaware of the concept of newspaper headlines
- einpoklum 6y agoWell, yes, but to be honest - very often what they have to say is worthwhile even if you've read the piece. :-P
