Is it just me or has Hacker News started to become an echo chamber for debating internet meme's that are largely pointless and contain nothing of substance?
The problem is "Internet Memes" are basically opinion pieces and opinion pieces, by their nature, inspire an emotional response from the reader. That makes the reader more likely to vote and/or comment on an opinion piece. As opposed to what you'd call the "Content Posts" like...for example...a great tutorial.
I hate to be a back seat webmaster but the time might be coming where HN has to split the Internet Memes and the Content Posts just to keep the later from being overrun completely (which is basically where we are now)
As of now this article has received 62 upvotes, so i guess some people liked it enough to upvote it.
I actually liked this article just because it contains more truth than "The case against apple". I don't understand why everybody reacted to "The case against apple" with agreement and now they decide that a counterpost is pointless.
If you didn't like the article, please just ignore it instead of posting a comment like that.
