That one sticks out.

I hate having to recalibrate how I read comments on websites. We are basically in the spam days of e-mail without any filter in sight — gasp! an em-dash! totally sus… — the cost of writing an extensive comment in faultless prose has fallen to nearly nothing, so it gets posted. Just like spam the reason for doing so seems to be for minimal effect, to move a discussion in some direction by minute degrees, or simply for the attention — perhaps to build up a credible-ish account?

It's a copy paste of the medium article. That's not what HN comments are supposed to be.
