We, the HN members, could try to have a discussion about this.

I’m not sure it would be fruitful though.

HN has already discussed this topic to death in thousands of comments across multiple years[1].

I have never seen anyone change anyone else's mind on this topic. It's just a flame/culture war. People join the discussion with a predetermined tribe and don't leave it.

Not exactly a call for a fruitful discussion.

Then you express that view in a civilized manner in your comment.

I go to Reddit for my flamewars.

Why put in the effort for people who don't even bother?
