It was unintentional as per author
> Ouch. That is what I get for pushing something out during a meeting, I guess. That was not my point; the experiment is done, and it was a success. I meant no more than that.
- DANmode 10mo agoThe “Ouch.” was in reference to being compared to Phoronix. Has anyone found them to be inaccurate, or fluffy to the point it degraded the content? I haven’t - but then again, probably predominantly reading the best posts being shared on aggregators.

- IshKebab 10mo agoNah I used to read Phoronix and the articles are a bit clickbaity sometimes but mostly it's fine. The real issue is the reader comments. They're absolute trash.
- JoshTriplett 10mo agoThe comments section is the biggest problem, but also, in addition to clickbait, the site has a tendency to amplify and highlight anything that will produce drama, often creating a predictable tempest in a teapot.
- stavros 10mo agoI don't know about the "ouch" but the rest of the comment seems pretty clear that they didn't intend to imply the clickbait.
- DANmode 10mo agoThat’s correct! That’s why I was chatting about the “Ouch.” because it was the only part of the comment that didn’t make sense to me in isolation, so I opened the context, what he was replying to.
