Are these hot takes a thing on HN now? I hope not. Write a blog post articulating your argument and link that, but please don't turn HN into Reddit any more than it already has.
- zug_zug 4y agoI think what we're seeing is the effect of no-downvotes. If something comes up which seems "really freeking cool" to a specific 4% demographic (and annoying to 10%), it can get more upvotes than something that seems mildly interesting to 20% of the site. In person, when there is no algorithm, social norms ARE the algorithm. Maybe that'll work here too, maybe not. Good luck.
- Julesman 4y agoI second this notion.
