I am indeed bitter (def: anger and disappointment at being treated unfairly; resentment) about people using their credentials rather than real merits of their work to attempt to get a leg up when advertising their work. I covered my dissatisfaction about that in my post. Distill.pub for example, despite being written by people who worked at OpenAI and (also funded by) Google Brain, makes nearly no mention of either. They've managed to successfully accomplish their goal (creating resources to help people improve their intuition about machine learning) without resorting to those tactics.

I covered my dissatisfaction about that in my post. A Show HN is not really the place to vent that dissatisfaction, though, at least not in that form. Take a look at: https://news.ycombinator.com/showhn.html https://news.ycombinator.com/showhn.html

  I think the popularity of my post suggests it better represents the general sentiment of people who viewed the page than not, but I do accept the tone reflects my negative feelings towards the perceived credentialsim:substance ratio more than it does an impartial review of the content. Genuinely, feel free to remove the entirely of my thread if you think it is unproductive, I'm unable to edit it.

    I think the popularity of my post suggests People upvote highly emotive stuff all the time even if it's at odds with HN's guidelines so whatever it suggests, it doesn't suggest the place on HN where people showcase their work is also the place for harangues. People like harangues! It's just not the subforum for them.
