Well, I agree that Reddit's voting system encourages groupthink, but I'd rather that unpopular opinions were silenced by other commenters rather than all opinions being silenced. Do you think that comments belong anywhere on the w

This has certainly been my experience. All the hackathons I've participated in have felt very geared toward corporate shilling, and most of the prizes are for "best use of [company's product]".
