Hello reddit. HN was nice before y'all found out about it. This was inevitable but I suppose now is as good as any time to stop coming here. Goodbye reddit.
"The worst thing to post or upvote is something that's intensely but shallowly interesting. Gossip about famous people, funny or cute pictures or videos, partisan political articles, etc. If you let that sort of thing onto a news site, it will push aside the deeply interesting stuff, which tends to be quieter."
