Another petty fiefdom where dissenting opinion is quashed.

Please don't smear the community as a whole, especially as you choose to participate in it. I imagine at least part of the motivation of the author is to have a tech project. Not everything needs to be purely practical.

I'm about to flag your comment not because it suggests the quality of discourse on HN has declined, but because it makes a net negative contribution to the quality of discourse on HN. In other words, you seem to be being the problem you perceive. Perhaps you might do otherwise.

Ok u win at hacker news I guess gotta be someone

You've been posting a lot of unsubstantive comments to HN, and not just in this thread. Please don't do that from now on.

If you're down-voted, I would suggest it's because your comment doesn't add anything substantive (which would actually improve the quality of HN), makes a common, uncharitable complaint while doing so, and mentions you expect downvotes, which is counter to the guidelines.

it's substantive to the OP and GP's commentary. it's not apropos of nothing

You also might be getting downvoted because this was already a tiresome cliché 6 years ago. Now I'm not sure what it is, but the guidelines (as old as the hills, themselves) still ask us not to post it.
