Yeah, it pretty much is. I'd copy and paste it, but I can't because of the hacky implementation. Suffice it to say it shits on HN for reasons I disagree with.

- mort96 3y agoYou should've copy/pasted it, maybe you would've found out what it actually says: > we find that only a tiny fraction of HN ... actually engage with the substance of our articles Emphasis mine. "Most comments on HN have interesting commentary" is 100% compatible with "only a small fraction of HM comments on articles from Asahi engage with the substance of those articles". In fact, you may even find discussions which have nothing to do with "the substance of [their] articles" to have interesting commentary!
- unethical_ban 3y agoWell, I stand corrected, which I will always acknowledge. (Thought I literally can't copy the text on desktop or mobile). It does indeed say "our articles", when I thought it was speaking more broadly. So, whatever. Still seems like a counterproductive way to communicate their issues. It is still telling me, someone who was interested in their blog post, not to participate in their discussion or learn about their project, because I came from HN. And I guess that chaps me because I don't see the problem they see. But I've already moved on (aside from checking comment replies every few hours like a normal work day).
