Yeah, letting other people know that it's okay not to like those shows. I enjoy and upvote when people voice dissenting opinions, so I like to do it too.


This is Hacker News, my friend. Anyone who has a negative opinion is showered with praise and upvotes for being a contrarian and a bold ideologue. (Unless that opinion is about Rust, or, apparently, TV.) Don't just take my word on it- go see any product launch here, from the small leagues all the way to Musk's latest work, and watch as people crap on it. (And get upvotes.)

To be honest, I'm not impressed with people who are contrarian for the sake of being contrarian. Like yourself, it triggers some circuitry in the brains of many HNers that cause them to enjoy it, even if the actual content of the post is not as high as an equivalent, non-contrarian post. If you understand this circuitry is being fired, you can see the contrarianism for what it really is.


A contrarian to the contrarians!


I know, right? This clearly proves I am more special and intelligent and... aw, crap.

In all seriousness though, the constant contrarianness on display here is tiring. Not sure how else to put it.
