Ask HN: Do you find utility in the hide button?

1 pointmethyl2 comments

The only time I click it is when I missclick and it’s super frustrating.

Does anyone find it actually useful? I have a feeling deliberate clicks to misclicks would not be in favor of the former.

“Hide”s expire, which is something to keep in mind.

yes, quite useful, since it also hides comments in the discussion, not just the link.
