I do not know what this thing is about and the reason for posting, possibly it is fake and attention hungry whatever, but why then sounds the suffer so familiar to me not even close to learning/teaching on iPad? Must be coincidence or hallucinations then.

I was literally browsing the Teachers sub while procrastinating on studying for a midterm, read that post, and was curious what people would have to say about it on HN (in all fairness, I suppose at least part of me was also like "Wow this would do numbers on HN).
It's fair to complain that you don't find it constructive, interesting, or educational, but I promise it was at least an organic process.

Of course it would do numbers, doing numbers is the whole point of rage bait. It got you.

Just like any good web service. Many web services are terrible. I have to use one such every day, it's awful

You flagged it. Wow, so brave! How dare someone write about a bad experience with your favorite company's products! It must be fake and bait.

I use the software mentioned in the Reddit post all the time because I have kids in middle school. It sucks. But even taking into account how much it sucks, the description is inaccurate and unfair. That’s now bad that post was.
The alleged chain of clicks and typing is not really plausible unless the kid just got handed a brand new machine on the first day of school. These are services that kids use everyday that employ cookies to persist session, just like any other web service.
