Quoting the HN guidelines, please don't complain that a submission is inappropriate. HN is about intellectual curiosity, not just programming or startups. If it's on the front page, then people found it interesting and voted to put it there.
- Vampiero 2y agoIf it were actually interesting then you'd see more comments. The fact that people upvote random crap has no bearing on the content being interesting enough to spark a discussion. People upvote without even reading the articles, based on their gut feeling. Also you can't downvote on HN, and the activity is not high enough to expect uninteresting crap to be overwhelmed by the interesting crap. Sometimes it just gets through.
