This thread is clarifying to me. I now have more anecdotal data to back up my anecdotal feeling that I don't agree with most people on HN on matters such as this. The highest voted answers are things I feel are overhyped.
Harry Potter, Breaking Bad, The Wire, Apple Watch, Ruby on Rails, Hamilton.
I'm not saying these things are bad, but the hype level far exceeds the delivered value, in my opinion.
I had to scroll down to things like M1, AMD Zen, and the original iPhone before I felt a sense of agreement. Perhaps I am overly sensitive to hype, so fewer things can possibly measure up for me.
