It's the most upvoted comment. I'm curious how it goes against HN's rules?

Perhaps, it's not strictly against the letters of the guidelines - but I've always found these types of comments against the spirit of the guidelines. I'd largely say they go against the spirt of a few rules, especially: "Eschew flamebait. Avoid generic tangents. Omit internet tropes."

They're low effort, generic, populous comments that do little to contribute to the discussion.
