it means both are correct stances to have, sorry it doesn't make sense to you


Feel free to ELI5, I'll be waiting with bated breath.


in my post i said:

i mean.. i get it. (point 1) i'd never do it. (point 2)

i also said, it is the internet and people will do that because famous people are... famous... and if there's an AI video of a famous person that I do like, i will give it a like.

if Robin Williams was some guy who worked as a cashier at Trader Joe's his whole life nobody would care

maybe Robin Williams should have never been an actor then he'd be unknown to the masses, like 99% of us on HN

And?

Essentially: it happens a lot so it must be OK. Lovely morals.

> if Robin Williams was some guy who worked as a cashier at Trader Joe's his whole life nobody would care

People don't care about a random murder victim as much as they care about Rob Reiner; murder is still wrong and deplorable.

> maybe Robin Williams should have never been an actor then he'd be unknown to the masses, like 99% of us on HN

Whiny bullshit.


Upvotes and downvotes do not give any validity to an argument.

Sorry it doesn’t make sense to you.
