Yes, you might be right. Still I feel like there are people who share some genuine info on products and other interesting projects for fun. I think I can agree

Yes, you might be right. Still I feel like there are people who share some genuine info on products and other interesting projects for fun. I think I can agree with you that perhaps sometimes comments might be getting barbs (first time I heard this phrase, I guess a still lot to learn xD) but also that this behaviour isn't rewarded in the context of an article or anything usually. Most articles are about coding related software and the pretext around it thus makes comments mostly helpful, or atleast have genuine reasons that one can weigh against And that behaviour is what's rewarded even in somewhat political posts on HN as compared to something like reddit which might not be helpful in a general stance and especially so in its political posts (or anything related to it)
