Why are HN comments becoming so much more like comments on crappy tech blogs and reddit?

  because that's exactly where people like me came from. Not sure what to do differently here. Maybe it's a matter of poor opinion mixed with horrible sense of humor.

    The only place HN really accepts attempts at humor (or unfounded speculation, for that matter) are as tossed-off epilogues to more substantive and serious commentary. Picture an HN comment as an (extremely short) journal article: you have to summarize your data and experimental method first--and then, optionally, can state some conclusions.

  Probably because all the people who complain online about witty comments -- but have none of their own to contribute -- have been driven here.

    This wasn't a witty comment. Just an often repeated meme.

      "I DO have a sense of humor!"
