HN is no "decent web of trust". People are anonymous, they post anonymously and comment as such. Accordingly, incentive to contribute substantially is minimal at best. Look at your own comment: you didn't really read what I wrote and made some cheap whataboutism-statement. Useless information rotting away in the void until final deletion is no problem. Incentive to spam others without blowback is.
