- wavemode 5mo agoThe mistake they made was allowing visitors to trigger the generation of articles via visiting any arbitrary URL. A more resilient concept would have been, have a few "seed" articles in place, and then only allow for the creation of new articles by clicking a link in an existing article.
- NewJazz 5mo agoI vaguely remember a game someone made up (probably on 4chan) where the goal was to click "random article" and see how many clicks it takes to get to Hitler's page. I remember it being fun AND informative.
- GCUMstlyHarmls 5mo agoThat would be a play on six degrees of kevin bacon [0], which spawned at least six degrees of wikipedia [1] and wikirace [2]. 0. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Six_Degrees_of_Kevin_Bacon https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Six_Degrees_of_Kevin_Bacon 1. https://www.sixdegreesofwikipedia.com/ https://www.sixdegreesofwikipedia.com/ 2. https://www.wikirace.io/ https://www.wikirace.io/
- cachius 5mo agoIt was so refreshing and fun for a few hours!
- rootusrootus 5mo agoJust in the comments, right? That is where I see it. If I were the site owner I would just turn comments off. It was a cute idea when someone on HN suggested it, but without moderation open commenting becomes a cesspool in a hurry.
- whycombinetor 5mo agoTry clicking "Stumble" a few times...
- rootusrootus 5mo agoYeah I see that now. Also clicking on the all entries list shows pages of garbage. Just takes a few sucky people to ruin things.
- edaemon 5mo agoTook me two clicks of the "Stumble" functionality to hit unsavory stuff that someone clearly made on purpose.
- driggs 5mo agoThis is why we can't have nice things. Looks like someone scripted `curl` in a loop and generated thousands of permutations of hate content.
- nelsonfigueroa 5mo agoYeah...I clicked on the "Stumble" link and it was right in my face.
- JackFr 5mo agoSo disappointing. People are garbage.
- cachius 5mo agoMind all the funny, creative articles. A few suffice to ruin it for all.
- fortran77 5mo agoThe readers of Hacker News are almost certainly responsible. I found these pages within a minute of browsing randomly.
- Majkipl28 5mo agoAs the co-author of the project: the whole reason was to allow everybody to hallucinate what they want. If it was their will to research such things on there, then it shall be. But yes, it is kinda sad.
- xigoi 5mo agoYou could keep this ability, but not save the titles of such articles anywhere.
