What about people that do not know much about the topic?
- denton-scratch 5y agoWell, I guess they're not HN readers. And I don't suppose they're the ones reading the article.
- tomrod 5y ago\o HN reader here. Blockchain jargon gets passed around without clear definitions, a lot. Reminding of fundamentals is helpful for clear communication.
- jvanderbot 5y agoWell ... most people would (usually) get access to an article without HN. It's here exclusively for HN readers. So, downvote as bad HN submission, but don't critique article for not catering to HN readers. I guess?
- solveit 5y agoI would not mind a culture of people dunking on the submitter rather than the article. (Of course, it would be best if we didn't dunk at all, but that doesn't seem to be happening...)
- denton-scratch 5y agoI don't have power to downvote an article submission. But anyway, I'm disinclined to downvote anything here; it feels nasty. And I think if you're going to downvote, you should also comment. I prefer to upvote things that I think are good, and should be uplist. I just thought it was a shallow article.
