This site has never been good in the four years you have been reading it...

Yet you are still here, reading and commenting...

Why?

I don't know. I'm in the same position. I don't care about 99% of threads, I don't care about startups or other businesses of any kind, and I believe this site suffers from a particular brand of group think I don't associate with.

When there's any technical discussion that interest me, I believe 95% of participants don't have any idea what they are talking about, and 5% sort of know better but are wrong.

Yet I still come. I don't know why, it's like an obsession. I can't explain it.

Maybe for the occasional interesting link that appears every couple of days and I wouldn't have found it otherwise.

Nah, it's not that.

>I've been reading this site for over four years now and it was never good...

Yet it was good enough to keep you coming back for four years?

Basically.

Sorry for the off-topic comment, but this reminds me of a discussion I had on Slashdot where one old timer said something to the effect of "the editors were never good" and we were looking at the past through rose coloured glasses.
