I really don't mean to be rude but seeing these types of posts on hackernews bothers me. I really would like to see us keep the scope of the news we post within tech. I feel like I'm seeing more non tech articles - like this one - on the site. It frustates me because when I want to escape the sort of articles that propagate through anger or outrage it becomes increasingly more difficult. We don't need another reddit. Please consider the type of community we want to have.
You don't have to read the non-tech articles if you don't want to, and you are certainly welcome to participate on HackerNews!
But "Please consider the type of community we want to have." is a little rich if "community" only means reading the articles. Perhaps the word you are looking for is "product" or more charitably "experience"?
