This is a weird take. Just because you're going meta, does not invalidate that the internet has turned into a steaming pile of shit since last 10 years.

It sounds pseudo-englightening without any substance. Ok, you've observed this meta aspect of HN. So, what?

I agree that it's not a very deep observation, or maybe even not true. But it 1) seems to explain several different reactions I see on Hacker News, and 2) it illustrates a trap that I, as a Hacker News user, find myself falling into without realizing: the belief that the thing I want is the thing that other people want. To me, it's good to be aware of that.

Sometimes what other people want is dumb. The challenge for smart people to separate their bias from their judgement.
