Dear readers who are deluding yourselves into believing Hacker News is the last bastion of social news hope,
It is not. HN has become another cesspool of useless ego-boosting linkbait.
As evidence, here are 4 headlines currently on the front page that literally make me STUPIDER:
Vitamins Found to Curb Exercise Benefits
College grad: ‘I wish I’d gone to prison instead’
Steve Jobs allowed to tear down his home
TECH CRUNCH TECH CRUNCH STUPID ARRINGTON BS*
*This last example not an actual headline, but instead an educated guess.
SERIOUSLY? How does any of this "gratify one's intellectual curiosity"? (http://ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html)
It does not.
Hacker News failed. Does anybody have a better hangout spot?
