This kind of comment strikes me as nonproductive. HN seems majority anti-crypto and anti-NFT, and that’s fine, but when every crypto adjacent thread winds up littered with these kinds of comments (not addressing the feature specifically, but instead expressing non-pointed distaste for the ecosystem) it seriously degrades the quality of discussion possible.

Your comment is arguably less useful, no? Arguably their comment is useful to Brave developers, assuming they care about user feedback.

Is there a proper forum for HN metadiscussion? My beef isn't with this comment specifically, but rather the low quality discussion that regularly occurs in crypto threads.

In the best possible light, yes, it could be interpreted as criticism for the devs. As I read it, it seems like "I don't like crypto or NFTs so I'm leaving." Which again: perfectly reasonable sentiment. That's fine if it's how you feel.

However, I feel a more meaningful comment would have included what specifically about this feature was over the line and why (especially given the presence of BAT).

Maybe it's not low-quality discussion in crypto threads, but rather a lack of high-quality discussion. Despite it's popularity, there are only a handful of people who are intimately familiar with how the blockchain works, the rest is mostly hype and Twitter campaigns for buying Bored Apes.

Where was the user feedback?
