This is a website where anybody can trivially create multiple accounts in minutes. It has minimal protections against abuse. The strength of the community relies entirely on its obscurity and it's no longer obscure.

It died as a home for intellectuals the moment it became big enough to be a viable platform for political propaganda (many years ago).

The core premise might still be interesting to discuss, even though the submission itself is not very good.

Disclaimer: I didn't vote for this submission.

Because a lot of people upvote based on the title and not the content? That's my assumption at least.

The title is pretty enticing, even if the content is slop trash.

A lot of nonsense get traction on HN (and everywhere else).

The revolt of the masses is real.
