Do you honestly believe if this post was about apple or an apple product with the exact same lack of content, it would have gotten the same number of up votes as quickly as this one did?
- coldtea 6y agoIn HN, where every third post is "Why I'm leaving Apple" or such? Yes.
- wnevets 6y agoI dont see any apple related post on the front page, let alone negative ones. Do you see a different front page than I do?
- coldtea 6y agoYes, it's called "bias blind spot" :-) Here's one in the front page, just a few days ago: Falling Out of Love with Apple, Part 3: Content and Censorship (hardware.substack.com) 321 points by zherbert 7 days ago | flag | hide | 292 comments https://news.ycombinator.com/front?day=2020-12-07 https://news.ycombinator.com/front?day=2020-12-07
- wnevets 6y agoWait, so we went from every third post on HN is a negative post about apple to here is one post from 7 days ago? Talk about "bias blind spot".
