Are we starting with this even here? Is there really no corner of the Internet that's immune to this bullcrap?

Are we starting with this even here? Is there really no corner of the Internet that's immune to this bullcrap?
- SwimSwimHungry 6y agoI've always wondered if someone could make a browser plugin to filter anything involving cryptocurrency out of web sites like HN, /. or reddit? Having to read about all this every day contributes to unnecessary anxieties and stressors some folks don't need.
- everfree 6y agoI really don't see cryptocurrency pop up that often on HN or Reddit. It's usually only when a big event happens, like this post about the most actively used network launching their 2.0 update that's been in the works for the past 3-4 years. I feel like both communities generally do a good job of moderating away inconsequential cryptocurrency posts. Does seeing a fintech post on HN once in a blue moon (and choosing not to read it) really cause you that much anxiety?
- SwimSwimHungry 6y agoWell not me personally. I mean some of the commenters on this thread seem to be a bit irritated and the clashing that turns up afterwards in the comments, which seems relatively unproductive. It would be nice to have a way to kind of give netizens a choice on what they want to see, similar to Reddit. As they say, ignorance is bliss.
