- casca 14y agoReddit has come to HN
- developuh 14y agoI am sorry, But I did not quite get what you mean here.
- evincarofautumn 14y agoThe Guidelines[1] say it better than I can. “If your account is less than a year old, please don’t submit comments saying that HN is turning into Reddit. (It’s a common semi-noob illusion.)” [1] http://ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html http://ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html
- philwelch 14y agoMy account is more than a year old, and after viewing the submitted link I have to agree with his assessment. Frankly, those guidelines were written years before HN actually did turn into Reddit. In any case, in lieu of casca's seniority, please accept mine as a waiver for that particular anachronistic guideline.
- evincarofautumn 14y agoThat’s fair. Still, I don’t think the occasional low-quality link means HN is transmogrifying into Reddit, or otherwise declining.
- philwelch 14y agoA year or two ago, this would have been flagged to death by now.
- joshmlewis 14y agoReddit is..Reddit. I used to think Reddit was dumb and I started going deeper, and quite frankly Reddit scares the shit out of me sometimes. The occasional meme is funny but HN isn't near what Reddit is.
- snitzr 14y agoScary how?
- joshmlewis 14y agoJust some of the deep/dark/scary/nasty stuff that gets thrown around. Haha.
- simonw 14y agoOn the one hand, it's dumb. On the other hand, it's REALLY well observed.
- casca 14y agoTo be clearer, I'm not saying or implying that HN is becoming Reddit. Rather that this particular content looks like it belongs on Reddit given the lack of substance and allegedly amusing animated gifs.
- dutchbrit 14y agoReminds me of http://thisadvertisinglife.tumblr.com/ http://thisadvertisinglife.tumblr.com/
- dools 14y agoInteresting - did someone just put this together today? I only just saw http://thisadvertisinglife.tumblr.com/ http://thisadvertisinglife.tumblr.com/ today which seems to be along the same lines. I'm not sure if it's like a "meme" or which one came fast but themed, curated gifs could well be one of this season's favourite things.
- sparknlaunch12 14y agoI think the Reddit comment was aimed at the content of the linked website. If only ruining a startup was that easy.
- minimaxir 14y agoThe "Reddit" comments stem from the fact that this was first posted to Reddit...and then downvoted to hell. http://www.reddit.com/r/startups/comments/svh6z/running_a_startup_tumblog_pics/ http://www.reddit.com/r/startups/comments/svh6z/running_a_st...
- niico 14y agoThis blog just made my day.
- tony_le_montana 14y ago@all, to be honest, i posted this link just to see what kind of response it gets. Expected to be flagged but got 81! Dont know what to say. :)
