Anything pitched by bullshit "tech" companies is going to be bad for you.

How is it that it's taken this long for people to realize these fucking ear buds are bad for you?

Who thought, "Oh hey, let's shove a speaker directly into peoples ears so they can hear music louder than otherwise possible and they'll love us for it."

Jesus, leave it to the HN microcosm to pick up on something only after the "experts" published a bullshit article. lol

View on HN

But then again, anything to the negative in a way that isn't "kosher" with HN's fucked up overly privileged sensibilities is going to be downvoted lol.

WITHIN 1 minute lol.

How about one of you dipshits run an algo on how long it takes for non-positive comments to be downvoted and see if it's even possible based on the user base.

Here's a tip which I find helpful in many forums : If I don't want to be downvoted, avoiding using an abrasive manner when criticizing many of the users is something that seems to help.

If you don't mind being downvoted, then one can, of course, disregard that, but if one does, one shouldn't complain about being downvoted afterwards.

I downvoted you for being ridiculously reductive. Whatever you consider to the the opposite of an ear bud is probably also being pitched by some "tech" company. Even assuming tech companies are overall bad, you're just throwing confirmation bias at the problem.

Your account seems quite new. You're allowed to be negative on HN. But empty rants will get downvoted. You might be interested in this: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9317916
