- snowpid 4y agoSo I thought Hackernews is an international website where everybody assume we are spread across the globe. Looks like some people are very narrow minded.
- ROTMetro 4y agoI'd argue it's the low empathy, low effort 'America problem' comment spawning responses worthy of it versus narrow mindedness.
- snowpid 4y agoand I am annoied that people assume American problem = everywhere problem. One could write "in America people could lose their health insurance" . Also low effort.
- darth_avocado 4y ago> You’re on an American website Is there a country ownership when it comes to websites if people all over the world use it? Only about 36% of the traffic comes from within US, so you’re not wrong in the statistical significance, but you also need to be congnizant of the global participation on this site. https://www.similarweb.com/website/news.ycombinator.com/#traffic https://www.similarweb.com/website/news.ycombinator.com/#tra...
- dang 4y agoYou shouldn't assume this. Last I checked, HN was about 50% in the US, but then a lot of HN users in the US aren't necessarily American, and there are also Americans abroad.
