I might be going on a limb here but do we really need to have every single Seth Godin post on Hacker News? Every few days there's a new one that somehow reaches the top, doesn't offer much value and even has significant issues (like this one).. I didn't really think this comment through but I know I have become slightly annoyed with his posts flooding HN as of late.
- llimllib 18y agoI thought it was posted so we could make fun of his scientific ignorance? Did the poster really think this was a good metaphor? (I'm not saying the marketing advice he gives is bad. In fact, I couldn't even get past his nonsense at the top of the article)
- mattmaroon 18y agoTotally agree. Most of his posts are useless. His total lack of physics knowledge aside, most of his stuff doesn't even tell me how to market better.
- petercooper 18y agoHis posts are, however, often insightful and usually feature a fresh observation. While these rarely give you step 1 - do this, step 2 - do that type advice, enough insights, when compiled together, can help you come up with ideas and inspire insights of your own.
