I wish my life was so utterly without other problems that I could get this worked up about something so minor and meaningless.

- paulpauper 5y agoyet it went viral, so apparently a lot of ppl find it interesting, and the traffic probably is an incentive for him to keep writing similar articles about seemingly mundane things. There is a huge online audience for mundane observations, as opposed to the always-on news cycle.
- jcims 5y agoProbably for the same reasons that one of the predominant tones on Twitter is howling despair about, in the larger view, trifling things
- gdulli 5y agoYou just did.
- PhasmaFelis 5y agoEnh, not really. I got worked up enough to write one (now three!) sentences, not a lengthy article with illustrative screenshots.
- rvz 5y agoWell yeah exactly. It is petty and meaningless. They already accepted Google doing this stuff to them for a long time and now they complain over a storm in a tea cup. Goodness me. When this drops off of the top of HN, they will continue to click Google reCAPTCHAs once again, reminding them who really runs the web and how we got here in the first place. And it is all thanks to everyone for accepting Google and doing that all by themselves. Have a pat on the back for your participation folks!
