Can articles with the words "considered harmful" in the title (or the article itself for that matter) be banned? It's almost always a low effort way to get votes by taking a popular technology and finding some flaws to write an article on.
- jeremysmyth 11y agoNo. Downvote if it's low quality, upvote if it's good. Personally, "considered harmful" is in the "meh" category for me, but I'm not curating HN articles, nor is any other individual.
- andybak 11y agoIgnore the title and take each post on it's merits. Personally people complaining about 'considered harmful' irritates me more than said articles. I thought this article was OK - certainly good enough to skim read for 5 minutes. Neither an upvote nor a downvote from me.
- moistgorilla 11y agoThe problem with considered harmful I'm having is that so many low quality articles are using it in their titles and it really says nothing about the content other than somebody thinks some technology is bad.
