Feedback can be savage when you make a slight mistake (or even not a mistake, you just go a little bit against the pack on some topic you understand more than others). That definitely keeps me from writing more and bias me to only publish "safe" posts that are likely to be in agreement with the current trends (which in my case is rarely).
- Bakary 4y agoThis is the visibility bias at work. Just because someone posted a comment doesn't mean it's worth looking at. In fact, you can probably safely discard the opinions of the type of person that has the time and inclination to post "well akshually" rebuttals under random blog posts. And yes I'm aware of the irony of an HN user saying this.
