Can someone explain to me why these articles are so popular here? They are always subjective, reflect a single viewpoint and are typically decorated rants - yet for some reason they constantly appear. Why?

- bryanlarsen 14y agoHe's got a valid complaint mixed in with emotion and opinion. The valid complaint means you can't dismiss it out of hand, but the emotion and opinion mean that the comments get out hand.
- mwfunk 14y agoNo, he's got a complaint, verifying the "valid" part requires digging into what he wrote and really thinking about it. The emotion and opinion part makes readers not want to do that. But yeah, it doesn't help the comments either. :(
