The joke was fun the first time. When the joke posts (low effort AI slop no less!) are spammed to HN every week, it stops being fun.

- alt227 9mo agoIts on the front page, that means it atttracted attention and was upvoted. If what you are saying was true, these posts would die very quickly and we would never see them. Maybe its just you who doesnt like them?
- ctrlmeta 9mo ago> Maybe its just you who doesnt like them? Obviously it's just me who doesn't like them. What's your point?
- unethical_ban 9mo agoThey're defensive to the point of hostility. Not sure what compels that.
- alt227 9mo agoI already made my point. If the community agrees with you then we wont see these on the front page anymore. If not then you will either need to be ok with seeing more of them, or not read HN.
- unethical_ban 9mo agoI guess if everyone thinks mocking peoples' projects and efforts is funny, it's okay! My opinion is a weakly that this is tiring and borderline insulting to people who are genuinely looking for feedback and community. Clever once a year or so, but the creator has leaned into it and posted a lot of meta in a small timeline.
- alt227 9mo agoThen if the community agrees with you, these posts will get zero upvotes and we will never see them on the front page again. If not, then you will start seeing them more and more and you will need to suck it up my friend!
- lelanthran 9mo ago> The joke was fun the first time. > ... > it stops being fun. Right. Sorry. We apologise. We didn't know the joke police was monitoring.
