Wait, did you just attempt to reframe the conversation under the axiom that "instagrammable" === "better"?

HN is really bad at sarcasm...

I think we just don't appreciate it as much here. It doesn't add to the conversation other than to indicate that

1: the author disagrees (but may feel they can't do so directly), and

2: the author is clever (which of course is true of all HN users).

Does anyone want nice people? Or do they want real people?

Give me a chubby 35 year old nerd who knows tons of stuff over a nice attractive couple who take good pictures to sell advertising.

Previous comment was a quote from the song “Losing My Edge” by LCD Soundsystem. The genius of the lyrics is in sardonically complaining about the new generation but also admitting the real problem is that the singer is growing old.

I'm pretty sure you can have nice AND real people. But yes, nice people are typically a pleasure to be around.
