Re previous reply, I didn't notice who I was replying to. I've removed it. That was my natural impulse... not to double down on the scold, I see your point of view, but we are so flooded now with vibe coded stuff made to filch our lives that the diminishing probability of it being in good faith is outweighed by likelihood that it's not, and I think instinctive reticence against uploading photos to an unknown site should be the norm.
I had a submission flagged a few days ago for what reason I don't know, but one of my more optimistic guesses was that it included a photo with a reflection of me that could've been enhanced.
I don't feel like this poster was necessarily projecting an attempt to inject social issues into the review of a Show HN, even if they were being a scold and doing the obvious scolding thing... I think that especially with the raft of vibe code now, data hygiene is probably the most critical hacking issue of pur time, whether you build a project or just try someone's out.
I do get that it's a downer for someone to just start in after it that way, but it'd be a legitimate criticism even if it was copypasta. I think debunking that type of critique as too common obviates the point that untrusted new sites asking for your personal data are so ubiquitous; should we really get mad at the people who raise warnings about them?
It's all too easy for generic criticisms to pop up first in a thread because they come to mind so quickly. It takes little effort to fire them off or put down someone else's project, and it's gratifying to assume the worst about others.
In this case you led with your feelings about social issues. Those are important feelings about important issues, but in a thread like this, they are a bummer—doubly so when there hasn't yet been time for fun or interesting discussion to appear. That's why I'm replying at such length.
