I was actually referring to more than just MG here. I see this on publications as prestigious as the New York Times. In an age where everyone has a voice, the roar of the crowd hurts when it's yelling at you.
- tatsuke95 15y agoI'll clarify, since the fellow above sounded a bit terse, but was entirely sincere: Unlike...99% of forums out there, HackerNews frowns on the "I agree" and "this" type comments. I don't think that was your intention, but since only high reputation posters can actually downvote, you'll get buried if your comment is breviloquent. This has pros and cons, but is a net positive. Anyway, welcome to HackerNews.
- unimpressive 15y agoI've been a lurker for a while. I understand this. When I first made the comment all the other comments were on this "MG is a hypocrite" meme, which I wanted to steer the discussion from to a broader point of "Well you know, theres a lot more blog authors out there who do something pretty similar." In MG's defense, he himself admitted that he'd done the exact things he talks about in the article. I probably could have made that first point with a lot less snark. But changing it now probably won't do much good.
