Hacker News is turning out to be the RSS feed for Wired's stupid articles and their link bait titles. I've even seen mods change the titles they're so "Upworthy" like. There hasn't been a day there haven't been one or two Wired articles on the front page and I think if they're not gaming it, something I wouldn't put past someone writing obnoxious titles like this, well then maybe we just need a weight against these "Astounding!" Wired articles.

Please just go to http://www.wired.com/ and see one gross and manipulative title after another:

"The Coolest Spaceships Ever Built, Compared by Size" Well I'll only read it if they're the coolest EVER!

"Americans Aren't Ready for the Future Google and Amazon Want to Build" I'm sure they used a scientific poll.

"Why the Console Wars Won't Be Anything Like You Expect" Right, you knew just what I was expecting.

"The Craziest, Coolest Mustangs That Never Were" So crazy, so cool, who would have known?

"Free iPhone 5s Deal Proves Apple Isn't So Special" See there you go, proof Apple isn't special.

Seriously, Wired is shit content. It's a cesspool. Yet every day it's on the HN home page. One obnoxious article after another. Usually HN is a bellwether for what will end up on techmeme or the general tech press the next day, but you think you're going to see these shit articles from Wired on techmeme or the tech page of the New York Times? How often is tptacek leaving amazing comments on these stupid Wired posts. Like never.
