I'd be way more interested in actually reading this if the headline didn't contain pointless profanities. Like this, I tag it Fanboi-ism and move on.

- lol768 6y agoEh, it's a reasonable post if you look past the headline. The profanity likely comes about from frustration with facebook (particularly for playing the pandemic card) which I don't think is particularly unjustified or from a place of fanboy-ism.
- srtjstjsj 6y agoFrustration is fine. But a professional with an audience of millions should proofread their work. Content that isn't allowed in HN comments shouldn't be in HN posts either.

- RL_Quine 6y agoIt's completely justified in context. Nobody could be mislead into thinking that "Vitamin Water" is a healthy drink. Same level of idiotic justification for the detriment of the consumer.
- chrisseaton 6y ago> It's completely justified in context. Personal abuse like this is never justified. We should always challenge it when we see it.

- cpach 6y agoI agree that the headline is in poor taste. (And I say that as a frequent DF reader.) Still a good article though.
