Totally. It's a story about love and yet that's not the thing most people are responding to.
I notice this a lot. When I wrote a blog post about the Remarkable 2 recently and it ended up on HN, very few of the comments were about my article - instead they were all about other people's thoughts on the Remarkable. This is ok, of course, but it's interesting to me that this is often how it goes on here. I wonder if it's high levels of self-absorption in HN readers or just a more widespread thing online where people respond to headlines rather than in-depth articles.
- toyg 3y agoIt's normal, and it's not even an online thing - it's an actual well-known phenomenon with newspapers. Most people read only headlines, be them online or on paper, and then react to them. They used to react while at a cafe or club, now we do it here.
