> everything in this world is now gauged by engagement nope not true, only algorithm driven website. just because this post or comment made it to the top of HN doesn't mean people think it's valuable now, it just means like you said: it has buzz around it, and it should, because it's bullshit and should be exposed for the bullshit it is. Is that enough to get people to be more skeptical about what they read? I don't know, probably not though.
