The author couldn't even be bothered to write about the supposed examples of these practices being wrong. The whole thing lacks detail and actual arguments, instead we get "please stop" like it's some sort of a reddit or twitter shitpost.
Look at this - https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=44822267 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=44822267 - is this what this site is supposed to be now? Writing the article in the place of the author because the author couldn't be bothered to even form their own argument correctly? What the fuck?
The fact that this has been upvoted so high and allowed to stay on the front page is also a clear signal to others that this low-effort garbage is welcome here, which will only encourage others to post similarly worthless blogposts, lowering the overall quality of this site.
There are multiple comments in this very thread that are longer than this "article". My own comment is longer!
- alt227 1y agoIs this what this site is supposed to be now? People ranting, complaining, and swearing about how a post submission is not what they think should be on the site? The post spawned an interesting conversation, thats worth itself alone. Go put replies like this on reddit where they belong.
- ManlyBread 1y agoInteresting conversations can also happen under articles that have actual substance, there's no need to tolerate such short blogposts just because these might spawn an interesting discussion. Funny that you mention reddit because this is the exact same type of spam that pollutes /r/programming.
