This article absolutely blows. How is this front page material?

  HN front page is regularly 95% hot takes disguised as technical blog posts, or pretentious/esoteric JS/Rust libraries.

    HN often reminds me of that article about how a majority of what you read on the internet is written by insane people.

    If anything, I would call this a technical blog post disguised as a hot take.

  The headline must resonate with enough visitors

  HN has been slowly becoming Twitter. It's hot takes, dunkings, and outrages. It started with and mostly limited to Google bashing (as the current aricle is). Unfortunately it's going to spread. HN is on its path to become another toxic internet forum or social media.

    Back before everyone was a bag of sad cats; a toxic internet forum was just called a forum and the people were amazing. Still are. I use IRC and message boards still and it's just fine. I don't use freenode anymore, duck that guy to quack.
