I was not familiar with the publisher posting this article, but briefly overlooked your comment before opening the link. At first glance, I was amused, genuinely thinking this article/website a interesting parody of making a website with all the dark patterns and implementation of sign-up-to-mailing-list/tracking/shopping/subscription/etc. and was excited thinking it was awesome someone was so aware of the problems with the internet today they encapsulated the issues into the website itself satirically.
But upon clicking around around further the author was indeed completely unaware of the irony of its own article.
- hnbad 4y agoHipocrisy is a valid criticism but not a counter-argument. I believe the meme format is "you want to improve society somewhat yet you participate in it".
- arandomhuman 4y agoI don't see how my comment was proposing an argument to the content within the article. It was merely a criticism and would hope to it interpreted as such. Wouldn't be nice to see a higher level of quality and consistency in commentaries like this, especially when the title is as ambitious as something as 'fighting for the digital future'? I don't mean to sound rude, but your response sounds a bit presumptuous and complacent with hypocrisy.
