For what it's worth and from where I'm sitting TC pretty much lost all of its edge post-Arrington. It's now a mediocre source of regurgitated news on ridiculously formatted pages with one of the longest list of 3rd party trackers across all news sites. It's just... junk.
The live stream video should indeed be THE main thread for the event, no argument there. It was just jarring to see it mid-page and the TC thread sitting at the first spot.
- dang 6y agoYeah, that's an artifact of the livestream spanning many hours while the lifespan of HN submissions being measured in hours, so by the time the big moment happened the thread was already halfway down the page. I've rolled back the clock on the submission now to accommodate that. I hear you about TC and will pay a bit more attention to that in the future, but really we judge this by article quality rather than site quality (https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=false&query=by%3Adang%20%20%22article%20quality%22%20%22site%20quality%22&sort=byDate&type=comment https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=false&qu...), so your best bet is always to propose a significantly better, specific article. I'd have been happy to use the AT one instead, but it has other problems: its first half is a photo collection, which is ok in principle but raises other issues which I can explain if anyone cares; and its second half swerves sharply into a political direction that would likely act as flamebait here.
