Precisely what I don’t care to read. Especially when they start the article giving background, tease that there’s an important thing coming, and then instead of getting to the point, it starts an interview which resets the conversation back to talking about the background again. I absolutely hated everything about the way this article was written.

Might you share what your question was? Or did you simply say "summarize"

Yeah, I'd prefer to be spared from the host and the guest. My time is better spent living my own life than reading about the lives of others (unless I'm reading about something truly great that some truly great person accomplished or failed to accomplish).

In my case the turning point of roach infestation in the late 80s was not something I have memories of so I was curious what it was like to live through. They touched on an important point, I think, where the widespread nuclear anxiety from the cold war and national pervasive roach anxiety began to dissipate at about exactly the same time.

If your time is so valuable, why are you spending it creating throwaway accounts just to hate on somebody else's content? If you don't like it, just move on. You're not adding anything to the conversation here.

There's an incredible recurring phenomenon of people registering throwaway accounts on HN to talk shit while also claiming that they "don't care" about the topic. The irony is stupefying.
