This is truly an impressive thread. HN will really complain about anything. It doesn't matter how innocuous the article. Some might say everyone on here is chronically online, but I don't think that's true. It's really just part of the culture that every post on here is treated as an invitation to read into the author's intentions and assume the worst of their character. Doesn't matter what the article is actually about, there will always be someone coming in with their "hot take."
I find this attitude way more exhausting and unoriginal.
- dgellow 4y agoIt’s even more frustrating when the posted link is just someone having fun on their own personal blog. It’s not like the author forced it in the homepage, they just wrote something they found fun or interesting, and shared it around.
- carapace 4y agoYou're doing it yourself! Right now, with that comment you just made, you're complaining about complaining, you're "[reading] into the author's intentions and assume the worst of their character", are you not?
- Capricorn2481 4y agoNot really. Nothing wrong with complaining, but saying shit like "sounds like desperation to become relevant" (Yes that's a real comment in this thread) is just reading too much into a silly joke.
