It was not a comment about "growth". It was a comment about function.
The article's claims, to which you were drawing a parallel, are about growth, not function. Now you're basically saying you're not actually drawing a parallel and the rest of it is very difficult to follow, it reads to me that mostly you want to call HN authoritarian (which, ok, but not very interesting on its own) but for reasons I can't quite put my finger on, you'd prefer not do anything about it - things like, say, proposing an alternative design or sending an email are right out.
- FollowingTheDao 2y agoIt is about growth and function. Function is manipulated to foster growth. That is the process of enshitification. And the growth here is not specifically about HN, but also YC and the "growth" of consent. Eg. "tech is good" EDITING to say: Never mind. Evil and greed are proliferating and promoted on the internet. This young girl school shooter proves it if you look at what she had access to and what she watched on discord. Leaving it.
