Why don't we also have a check box asking

[] Do you want a Million Dollars? [] Free Massage? . . or when they are booking an airline ticket [] Gigabit Internet [] Sleeper Couch

The amount of entitlement HNers have is mind-boggling.

Here's economics 101.

Users pay with attention/money for a list of goods/services from the provider. If you don't like it, switch your provider. Unlike some physical monopolies, you aren't bound to any provider.

If you think there is a market for your utopian content provider, how about you start your own company (with your fellow entitled HNers and provide all these features)?

Interesting plot twist! Economists do study these trends and you seem aware that the fact of having a right to something is trending among hackers, however I'm struggling to understand how any of what you just said relates to pruning code.
