Can you recommend an appropriate forum for discussing HN's guidelines?
In this particular case, I thought the GP comment raised a point worth discussing somewhere. I.e.:
At least on mobile, there's a point where the signal-to-noise ratio (from ads and/or wordy writing) is so low that I'd rather just read a summary here on HN.
So I'm actually grateful for comments that warn me before I visit such articles, especially on mobile.
- dang 3y agoIt's not that such comments have no benefit—but they cost more than they benefit. That's why we have that rule. The site would be worse, on the whole, without it. And of course the annoyances are genuine. We all find them annoying. It's just that complaints about them don't make for curious conversation, and that's what we're optimizing for.
