Who cares what Hacker News wants? You’re not obliged to participate in discussion.
Am I supposed to spend money on Amazon.com when I visit the website just because Amazon wants me to?
- egypturnash 1y agoIf most people quit spending money on Amazon then Amazon stops being worth running. If most people stop discussing things on HN, and the discussion is indeed one of the major reasons it’s kept running, then HN stops being worth running.

- danlitt 1y agoMost humans place the desires of human beings over the desires of companies.
