> Jim Cramer

I don't come here to read about what Jim Cramer is doing. I don't care about that at all. If I did, I would just turn on my TV. I come here specifically because stuff like that is not here. Plenty of other websites also cover that type of content.

Not every website need to cover all the same stuff. Thats what used to make the web great, was niche sites and diversity of content.

View on HN

the initial announcement of Musks twitter offer and attendant gloating / revulsion got many thousands of comments and it is actually quite interesting that the terminal side of this giant event has come through HN like a whisper.

And HN, like CNBC, exists mainly as part of a giant financial hype machine which is interesting in the same way that gravity or death is interesting. The whole tech world revolves around the price of things - your attention, clicks, term sheets, RSUs, etc. Cramer is not below HN, you are not above Cramer just because you don't perform on camera. We are all part of this machine.

I think you said it better than I did. It’s not tech news, or anything interesting. It’s financial news, which is inherently boring.
