- keiferski 2y agoOne of the quirks of HN (and a good one IMO most of the time) is that people tend to reply to the title and not the source. I didn’t even realize the source of the article before you mentioned it.
- IAmGraydon 2y agoThat’s not a quirk of HN. It’s a quirk of lazy humans, and I don’t understand how replying to titles would ever be a good thing.
- keiferski 2y agoBecause it short circuits the tendency to only allow articles from “the right kind” of sites. It also opens up conversation on topics tangentially related to the link, but not directly about it - which end up being the best comments more often than not.
- ghusto 2y agoI was saddened to see that :/ It supports some of my current beliefs, so wanted it to be true. But yeah, I'm not taking the NY Post's word for it.
