What hyperfocus?
Do you spend a lot of time on social media? If so then these platforms will be feeding you more of what they think you want to see, which will result in you having a faulty perception that there is some hyperfocus on the Cybertruck when it reality there isn't.
- throwworhtthrow 3y agoI visit Hacker News regularly, but no other social media at all. https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=pastMonth&query=cybertruck&sort=byPopularity&type=story https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=pastMonth&query=cybertruck... There's a lot of Cybertruck news on the HN front page in the past month. Which is what I meant by "hyperfocus".
- myvoiceismypass 3y ago59 in a month (many with not many points/not many comments) does not seem to be a lot. OpenAPI having 1122 results in the last month seems like a lot.
- throwworhtthrow 3y agoTesla has more Cybertruck articles on HN than it has Cybertrucks on the road.
- clouddrover 3y agoSo it's "not very many" versus "not very many". Hardly a compelling case for "hyperfocus".
- clouddrover 3y agoA collection of links posted to a minor website that is historically obsessed with all things Tesla is not representative or indicative of any kind of "hyperfocus" in the broader world.
- SeanAnderson 3y agoI dunno. My neighbor across the street's license plate is something like "CYBRTRCK" but they're driving a Tesla. The r/san_francisco subreddit is absolutely vicious about them, too -- rampant cheering and encouraging people to tow them at any chance. The public perception has actively discouraged me from wanting one - even though I find the design cool.
