tl;dr This is satire. It's kinda funny. But not that funny.

thanks for your valuable tl;dr. if Seinfeld would have been a blog post in 2015, HN would summarize: tl:dr nothing important, kinda funny, but I like Frasier

Here's why that's a bad analogy.

1. This is a news site, not a TV channel.

2. The title doesn't say that it's satire. I know that labeling it satire would ruin the joke, but not everyone is interested in satirizing BaseCamp. I'm one of those people, and I was irritated at having wasted a click. With Seinfeld, I could just avoid the show.

3. I am not HN. Many people may love this, for all we know.
