Who gives a sh*t? Why is this even shared here? HackerNews needs to get back to Engineering please. And, what the hell is Chief of Advertising Integrity ...

I will be first in line to cynically complain about inappropriate topics on HN, but why do you think this particular post is irrelevant?

Software culture is partly hacker culture, and Facebook is probably one of the most visible showcases of this culture - and therefore somewhat worthy of discussion on HackerNews, wouldn't you agree?

Why even bother commenting like that? You're not contributing anything

i completely disagree. i'm glad this person wrote that - it lets me know that this board isn't completely 100% dead and there's people here who think posts about 'facebooks integrity advertising chief' have no business being on a board about Hacker News. maybe everyone is afraid to speak up against this kind of useless B.S. for fear of being accused of not being 'constructive' enough or something.

I disagree. I don't think it added any value. It's self evident why something ends up on the front page right? I don't go around shitting on every topic I'm not interested in, it's a waste of our finite time.
