Just wondering if anyone else feels like this. Personally I’m following this community for interesting stuff around Linux and I don’t care too much for a lost percentage or another. Today’s an extreme example with 5 articles (steam share, 2x “10%”, 2x "not actually 10%). This horserace journalism is rarely doing any good imho.
What do you think?
I like seeing what cool new tools and toys are coming into the zeitgeist. Even if they’re dumb, or bad, or malicious, as they often are, I think there’s some merit in seeing a thing becoming more or less popular and having a conversation about it.
How much is too much? I don’t know. I think that’s one of the areas where upvoting / downvoting can be useful. And meta posts, for that matter: it’s good for communities to self-regulate this way. Personally I have not felt that there are too many.
