Happens for me right here on HN.
Comment thread about digital audio/audio software: the comments are just clearly full of people who don't really know much about what they are writing about.
Anything else: wow, HN commenters are so knowledgeable and good at explaining stuff!
- pavel_lishin 3y agoI've definitely stuck my foot in my mouth in the bus route threads.
- Cthulhu_ 3y agoYeah but it's said with confidence! I think the main issue with the HN crowd, present company included, is that because they're good at learning they think they can quickly grasp the essentials for anything new. Which is why there's like a revolving door of subjects that you suddenly get a lot of armchair experts about, going from currencies and investment banking to international conflict and politics, a short detour to amateur submarines, etc.
- dbcurtis 3y agoSame, but for me it is any story about agriculture or food production. I don’t even open those comment threads any more, it isn’t worth the aggravation.
