The "take comments meanings at their best value " keeps being eroded. And comments sections for these type of stories get full of them.
There's no value in GP asking "do you have proof that X goes twice a day to the toilet?" ... and of course the reply is as empty as the question.
The level of discourse is getting lower and lower.
"Please don't post comments saying that HN is turning into Reddit. It's a semi-noob illusion, as old as the hills. "
The barrier to entry to HN is anyone with an internet connection and motivation to create an account with absolutely no verification. That’s quite the low bar and just invites bad behavior.
In many old forum days you had to be invited. Case in point- lobste.rs is invite only.
