I would say, because not everyone cares as deeply as you do.

If it's readable and aesthetic, it is perfectly serviceable for the purpose of reading a post.

Consider that you probably didn't have such an intense response to WIX templates or substack articles, so most of what's going on is actually your feelings about AI taking primacy.

Apologism at best. People have been bemoaning this issue for a while now..., pre-AI even.

First time I'm seeing this defended from an "oh you're just anti AI" perspective (which, ironically, is exactly the sort of bare minimum a couple comments over was bemoaning)

No, they haven’t been complaining about this pre-AI. At least not this many people. LLMs did not invent boilerplates.

If you don’t like it and you feel it doesn’t bring value to HN, flag it.
