It really is a shame that snarky posts that add nothing of value like this seem to be on the rise on HN. This used to be one of the few places on the internet you could go to avoid brain dead commentary from people who think they're clever and really belong with the children on Reddit.
I really hope that the core group here gets a grip on this. In case you haven't read it in a while:

- metadat 4y agoI understand that some comments may not be what you are looking for in a discussion, but I believe it's important to keep an open mind, strive to be inclusive, and consider the purpose of feedback. Your input can be valuable in helping improve the thread, even if it's not directly actionable. Let's also keep in mind that the interpretation of "snark" is somewhat subjective, and if you feel a trailing question has some value despite a perceived "dumb preamble", perhaps consider leaving it un-upvoted (as I believe you have generously done in this case). Additionally, there are some helpful tools available to manage content that you find uninteresting or mildly offensive. These are the "[-]" collapse and "next" buttons. If you feel a comment strays too far, the staff at hn@ycombinator.com are very responsive and willing to assist.
