> I'm just nothing that HN rhetoric is contradictory.

Periodic reminder that HN is not a collective or a singular entity and is actually a bunch of different people with different opinions. Often the people with the loudest opinions get upvoted to the top - and often the "side" represented at the top is different from thread to thread.

also, human beings themselves can be contradictory. as an example i will happily pirate films/tv shows, but refuse to do the same with music.
