Is it more popular? Or is it just easy? Dismissive “reads” are done by the picosecond; there is just much more to choose from than constructive thinking, which takes work.
- dmix 8mo agoThat's true, most of these comments are just drive by pessimism by people who just skim headlines and don't really care to deeply understand the topics being discussed.
- danem 8mo agoThat’s a good 75% of HN these days.
- mulmen 8mo agoNice drive by pessimism.
- danem 8mo agoSorry, it's just a fact about HN informed by visiting it daily for over 13 years.
- dmix 8mo ago18yrs here and fully agree, but it's against the rules to discuss it :) > Please don't post comments saying that HN is turning into Reddit. also has these rules though which is a nice reminder > Be kind. Don't be snarky. Converse curiously; don't cross-examine. Edit out swipes. > Please don't post shallow dismissals, especially of other people's work. A good critical comment teaches us something. > Please don't pick the most provocative thing in an article or post to complain about in the thread. Find something interesting to respond to instead. > Please don't use Hacker News for political or ideological battle. It tramples curiosity. etc https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html
