- dang 8mo agoWould you please stop breaking the site guidelines? I just had to ask you this in a different context. You may not owe your least favorite publications better, but you owe this community better if you're participating in it. https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html

- dang 8mo agoSorry but I don't follow

- neya 7mo agoOk, some of the stuff - like calling out the community for NPC behaviour (aggressively), I wasn't aware was in the guidelines, but it totally makes sense. Won't happen again. The Ars Technica one? Screw them. That's on me. But, like you said, I do owe it to the community to not turn it into a reddit thread, so, I will be mindful next time. Thanks, dang.
- apparent 8mo agoCan you elaborate? Perhaps I haven't noticed that they push pro-sponsored content (what does this mean, exactly?). I do find their comment section to be pretty lousy, and very partisan. But the tech coverage always seemed fair enough. What am I missing?
- neya 8mo agoIf you feed their articles into a python script that identifies biases, subtle upsells and advertorials, you will see bunch of it is exactly just promotional marketing for some companies. They also almost never report the news, just opinions of it.
