If all it takes for HNews to upvote an article is hatred of a company, that's a sad state to be in. Might as well get my free upvote with a simple isoraclestillshit.com website, eh?
- pstuart 6y agoIt's a combination of hate of Oracle and love of Postgres; there were nuggets that validated those feelings. Upvoting is both "I agree" and mark that in my voting history for if I ever want to see that page again. Yes, this instance was not super deep but the fact is that it resonated with enough participants to get there.

I've seen plenty of front page posts that I don't think are worthy of being there but, hey, different strokes for different folks.
