Doesn't stop you from consuming their content though?

It used to be the case that all content was Hollywood or newspaper created. But now, 99% of the content I am using is discussion threads such as this one, Wiki articles, arXiv papers and blogs.

From the people, to the people! I don't even need movies and articles - well, I still keep a 1% interest in them, but that's all. I am sorry about them but they are so derivative and dishonest at times that I can't watch them any more.

How many times did you find more value in YC comments than the linked article?

Exactly. On HN, I click to view the comments to see if it's even worth reading the linked article. It seems to be about 50/50, which is as good is it gets I think.

It does if they bother to stop me.
