We've reached peak HN, everyone: ads are abuse, breaking and entering, and rape. I guess we're lucky no one has compared them to murder.

I feel bad if any actual victims of these horrific crimes are here; I imagine they wouldn't feel too good about this comparison.

I've been linking this comment thread to friends to have a chuckle. Ads = Abuse, Aggression, Rape!

Yet ads pay for everything that every HNer is too stingy to take out their wallet for, which includes almost every website/service, especially every website smaller than the websites HN likes to hate on.

It's like listening to people justify why they pirate media, crafting elaborate philosophical pieces when in reality they just don't like paying money for things.
