I assume I am an outlier; it must be the case that advertising works on most people, otherwise merchants wouldn't pay for it.

But it's interesting that most people commenting here seem to loathe advertising. Can we really all be outliers?

Yes, absolutely.

People who have something to complain about will often do that waaaaaay in excess of people who don’t.

Compounded by HN tending to attract people who enjoy a text-only interface.
