Anyone can opt to go off tangents playing semantics games. Meanwhile, if a company portrays itself as selling cheap products and services and then charges a hefty premium in exchange for nothing, they deserve being called out on what amounts to false advertising.
- furyofantares 4y agoThe first thing in the HN guidelines is this: > On-Topic: Anything that good hackers would find interesting. That includes more than hacking and startups. If you had to reduce it to a sentence, the answer might be: anything that gratifies one's intellectual curiosity. GP suggested the complaint about nameCHEAP wasn't well received because it's boring, not because it's wrong or unfair. It's not a semantic game I'm playing, I agree that the reason the complaint wouldn't be well received is because it is boring/not interesting. Downvotes may not mean "this company doesn't deserve to be called out." They may mean "I didn't come here to wade through boring content."
