Lol - kitanata's is funniest comment I read today! But spot on if you think about it.
That subset of HN users that work for FAANG, advertising company or similar, are like the sharp edge blade wielded by the business folks.
So yeah, in a way parent is right. Not that I'd ever hold it against those HN users. You're (at most) the tool used, not the one wielding it.
- dasil003 3y agoThe framing is guaranteed to draw downvotes because many here are doing all they can to resist enshitification, even within FAANG, but unfortunately large corporations will always bend towards profits and the average consumer will always bend towards cheap and convenient. At the end of the day it’s extremely difficult to see what any individual (even the business folks) can really do to effect broad change. Some systemic change would be necessary, but it’s hard to see what changes would lead us in the right direction, especially given the inherent corruptability of incentives in any human-instituted system.
