Anytime I see comments referencing “gO To rEdDiT” I can’t help but sigh at the hypocrisy. Your comment adds nothing to the thread and only reduces overall discussion quality further.
What do you hope to gain from such a comment?
To break the chain I’ll say two things:
1. The satire is on point. The original hey.com intro felt pretentious with it’s ridiculous, “Email is broken. Come join our invite only $xxx/month email instead” story.
2. Obviously enough HN users identified enough to upvote the post.

Your comment adds nothing to the thread and only reduces overall discussion quality further. This is completely wrong. If Reddit sucks, and people are making HN like Reddit with low effort content, then what recourse do we have other than to say so? Or should we just let HN turn into another low effort shit content site? You can disagree with whether or not this content sucks all you want, but again, the sentiment is totally off base.
- HenryBemis 6y agoWe all work enough hours per day being super serious. I was auditing a mega big bank ones (top5), talking to the head of their PMO, and he offered that we sit in some comfy chairs (armchairs) instead of the typical office chairs. Then I said with a "Spanish Inquisition" voice "put him in the comfy chair" and the guy laughed so hard he was drooling. Best-pre-closing-meeting-ever. Others were just staring at use (probably have never seen this magnificent piece of TV). I take that these witty comments are a similar thing to this serious and thought-provoking forum. All in good spirit with high grade and good quality (I like me some Monty Python humor).
