To me this is speaking to the echo chamber. I am so used to seeing this type of message, along with "Politics is the mind kill" and I nearly always see both blithely accepted, perpetuated, and unchallenged. It also seems a ridiculously strong stance to take, 'going cold turkey on news.' A naunced point about how low quality discussion or sensational takes do more harm than good is reasonable, but this is not that. They themselves are neither long form, or considered and this website linking to their post is titled "Hacker News." It's ironic, to truly heed their advice we should ignore them.
