I like the idea of separating shitposters from trolls.
At some point I've noticed that shitposts can follow an earnest troll, somehow detoruning it, and making it different, and therefore neutralising it to some extent. It's still unwanted, but in a low cost and toxic environment as the article suggests, it's a way to survive.
What would be a HN shitpost? Perhaps an overlong comment combining topics about freedom of speech, how the site sucks on mobile, and some kind of opinion about apple.
