How hard is it for you to not click on something you don't want to read?
I see hundreds of posts here every day that I don't click on, some in the top 5. I don't start campaigns to censor these posts, I assume people upvote them because they find value in them. Obviously people find value in Gruber's posts if they are being upvoted.
So here's the suggestion again: don't click on it bro. Problem solved.
- bane 15y agoIt'd be better if something I did want to read was in its place.
- Steko 15y agoFact: HN would cease to exist if everything a minority didn't want to see was blacklisted.
- pessimizer 15y agoFact: It isn't necessary for a majority to want something for it to make the top slot on HN.
- illumin8 15y agoYeah, but you still wanted to read it badly enough that you came here to comment 3 posts deep. It's funny how someone can hate a certain type of article so badly that they will read it and comment about how badly they hate it. I mean, why go to all the effort?
- bane 15y agoI know right? It's like every time I see a post to daringfireball, I open it, hoping for some interesting reading -- Gruber is actually a very capable writer. And on occasion I do find something enlightening. But the rest of the time it's like a Rick Roll...with the HN collective pointing at me going, "HA! Got you!". And I guess that's gotten under my skin after a while since I can't understand why these Gruber posts are tolerated, even encouraged in some cases, while links to cats dancing or actual rick rolls are discouraged.
