Sales pitches based on shitting on the main article get downvoted. Complaining about downvotes gets downvoted. Pity parties get downvoted. It’s not a mystery

  Shitting how? Many popular comments on HN delight in picking on the posted article, especially vehemently if it is something they don’t like (eg web3) To me the cause seems simple: actively enforced groupthink

    Ah yes, you are the messiah in this case, telling us lowly plebian group-thinking mouthbreathers how to think. Thanks!

      More like the guy in Plato’s cave metaphor. Or Socrates maybe. But do carry on!

          That’s what the guy in Plato’s cave had too. Where’s your hemlock?
