We disagree; there's very few other situations where you can get a quantitative look at which issues have mindshare. Most of the time the reporters get complete veto power.

- tptacek 15y agoYou know how you can tell it's a crappy HN submission? More than half the comments are about drug legalization. This is a Reddit politics story, not an HN story. This isn't a value judgement on your infographic. It's just the wrong venue for it.
- devongall 15y agoTend to disagree - comments are on that topic because of the content of the post. I'd think the relevance of the venue is determined by the level of comments and votes from the audience, the beauty of social sites. While I agree it doesn't follow the typical content of HN, if the audience up-votes then so be it.
