  Why?
  • notRobot 6y ago
    Because you won't be able to actually view anything on the website.
  • thesh4d0w 6y ago
    Cause he redirects based on referrer to https://cdn.jwz.org/images/2016/hn.png https://cdn.jwz.org/images/2016/hn.png

      I did not get redirected--would that be because I'm using Brave? Or because I'm on mobile?
      • smnrchrds 6y ago
        The former. Brave has explained their referer policy here: https://brave.com/privacy-updates-5/ https://brave.com/privacy-updates-5/ > When navigating to a new site, never send a referer header. JWZ wouldn't know you are visiting from HN if you use Brave.

          Or Safari, apparently.
        • HDMI_Cable 6y ago
          What's the reason behind JWZ doing that anyways?
          • Alvarito050506 6y ago
            Because sometimes he behaves like what's in the image.

              Strange to refer to brogrammers and to do this. Pot, kettle, black.
        • freebuju 6y ago
          Weird. Just tested this, Brave on PC redirected to the image but not on Brave mobile
      • lern_too_spel 6y ago
        Also, if you're using a Hacker News app, it won't send a Referer header when opening an article unless the app authors went out of their way to implement that. I would be surprised if any did.

  I wish HN would just block his site already, that damn image is burned into my retinas after seeing it 10+ times here.
