Imagine a commenter in a walled garden complaining about the walled garden's audience. "Facebook's audience is extremely skewed toward..., but that's not what...." How long before some Facebook reader asks, "Then why are you using it?"

If one dislikes systems that allow tinkering then why read and comment on HN. I do not understand.

I'm not sure who said they dislike systems that allow tinkering.

Apparently "the market" dislikes systems that allow tinkering. Presumably "the market" refers to some people who said they dislike systems that allow tinkering. Either that or the commenter is inferring "the market" dislikes systems that allow tinkering even though no person has actually made a statement to that effect.

Maybe HN is not the ideal forum for discussions of "the market" (due to lack of interest and/or understanding), but maybe HN is a decent forum for discussing systems that allow tinkering.
