- Nextgrid 5y agoThe voting and moderation system on HN essentially distributes the load of managing & sorting all the information across many people, so that overall the workload is manageable. Most of us wouldn't be browsing HN if it was a free-for-all unmoderated cesspool.
- kzrdude 5y agoMy head has limited capacity. I'm happy to filter out ads. Thankfully, HN doesn't need the filter. I also think constant lies on TV is a problem. I of course believe somewhat in my own ability to filter through, but at the end of the day, it is reality-distorting when it goes on in large scale and a societal problem!
