The real trend on HN is low-effort comments like this that generalize about HN. How about making an actual argument defending Kim Dotcom?

But ... what happens to your point when your comment becomes top-voted like it is now? Is HN redeemed because apparently everybody on HN agrees with you that HN is terrible?
