Exactly. Note that despite the plethora of articles, there is virtually no new content. The issue is an important one, both the breaking story and the details, but layers of political discourse on top of them don't strike me as particularly useful or what I used to consider "HN-worthy," nor do any of them seem likely to produce positive change (i.e. either a coordinated response to a large problem or an alternative system).
So at this point I am also considering leaving HN for good.
- edwardunknown 13y agoAnd no matter how smart the crowd here is when it comes to technology, discussing history or politics here is like talking to children. Many of the comments around here today sound like they came from the Drudge Report. It's embarrassing.
- Jd 13y agoCompletely agree. Every so often I promote hacker news through twitter, such that my own "brand image" is associated with Hacker News. Today I am completely ashamed to be associated with this twaddle. A couple of days ago a long discourse defending child pornography, today this stuff. Time to start with a new slate!
