News for hackers. Stuff that matters.

This is why you should have a blog: Because when you throw your reddit comments onto your own website and show a "post archive" on the sidebar, you're a blogger worth being submitted to Hacker News.

The point is valid, but the presentation and profane clickbait are lower tier.

What a pointlessly elitist take. People shouldn't have a blog, or submit their content to hacker news, unless it's "worthy"? As if being "worthy" of hacker news is some mantle everyone should strive for.

If you don't like it, don't vote for it. But I didn't quite feel like writing a long-form piece about my Apple Music woes and submitting it to the New Yorker this time.

It's as much a commentary on HN itself. If this exact post were a comment on /r/apple, it likely would have been flagged and deleted.

I didn't flag this or report it. Hey, I write lots of reddit comments and some blog posts, too. I even said it made a good point!

Yes but that is because /r/apple is a bunch of apple worshipers that believe apple does no wrong...

HN on the other hand is ... ohh nevermind :)

You put more effort into this comment than in the article
