I think the point was that while it's understandable TechCrunch might do that, it's disappointing (and sometimes a bit frustrating) that those articles are submitted and upvoted on Hacker News anyway.
- jonnathanson 15y agoAgreed that it is disappointing and frustrating. No question. Part of me wonders, however, whether it's possible to be a mainstream tech blog and a non-gossipy tech blog at the same time. Mainstream, mass-audience blogs always seem to take the LCD route at some point in their life cycles. I don't know whether they feel forced into it by advertisers, or whether they consciously do it in an attempt to optimize pageviews. Either way, the outcome is usually good for short term business, but bad for long-term readership.
