HN has a very interesting “vocal minority” thing going where certain articles will have VERY predictable comments.

ShowHN - “this doesn’t work if JavaScript is disabled” or “you should explain this product better I don’t want it”

Any hardware device: “I’ve noticed declining quality because the space bar is a very specific type of plastic now” or “I can’t even ssh into this. I miss the days when I could ssh into my shoelaces”

But there are also just insane corners of knowledge where there isn’t a lowest common denominator and it’s pretty interesting stuff.

When I do know about a given topic I don’t have to scroll TOO far to find an opinion I agree with, and sometimes an argument I hadn’t come across that changes my view.
