Are you saying that you think this article is an example of "paranoid conspiracy theories"?
No, I didn't read the article. But lately there have been far too many items on the HN front page that are nothing more than conspiracy theory ramblings, and with comments to match. There -have- been a few with reasonable takes on the scandal, but most are just... bleh.
That so many, in my opinion, stupid items end up on the front page annoys me for two reasons: 1) they're not "hacker" (and not business either) and obscure real content, and 2) it lowers my respect for the HN community.
- jacoblyles 17y agoSo you haven't read it, you just came here to persecute people who might disagree with you. Awesome.
- m_eiman 17y agoI came here to scan the comments to see if this was one of the conspiracy articles or one of the decent ones. I saw something that could be commented on without having read the article, and did so. Not too terrible, I think, but feel free to disagree. Oh, and the comments did suggest that the article was something I might want to read, I just haven't had time to do it yet.
