It wasn't a reliable source of information back then either. Anywhere there are humans, there are lies and misinformation. It's in our nature. Doesn't matter whether it is online or offline.

- celdon25 4y agoYeah but back then it was humanly possible to know where the bullshit was and how to avoid it. It’s pretty much 99% of the web now. Try going without HN and only using Reddit from now on and tell me how that works out.
