Strangely, for a story which appears to intersect with several of Hacker News' interests, almost no one seems to be interested...

View on HN

I suspect part of the problem may be it keeps getting submitted as a youtube link; It may be the case that people are loathe to follow video links without a clearer indication of what they are getting. (I know I personally am, both because I often use HN in a place where I don't want to use video -- or, more to the point, audio -- and also because I find video presentation to be generally more time investment for value than text; unless there is a compelling pitch, I'm loathe to check out video.)

I googled "Sesame Credit" and found and submitted a related story from a text source. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10804494

This is so horrible that I'm left speechless. Maybe others feel the same and skip to the next headline.

Two types of people read this post on HN:

1) Things like this couldn't possibly happen in the US, crazy Communists!

2) This development doesn't surprise me, and if I comment with thoughts on this story just for them to be downplayed by those in group #1, I may just finally end myself.
