I'm glad you spent your time making an extension so I can block people on this superficial website. Are you going to pitch it to investors? If it doesn't work are you going to publish an article name: "Here's how not to start a startup."

Oh boy! my first chance to test out this plugin!
No I have no intention of raising any money. You need to set your sights a bit higher if you think this is a startup.
I can't tell if no one got your sarcasm or if they're admonishing you for it. I think it's spot on and great though.
Can you explain it to me? All I see is a really whiny post attempting to mock the extension for not being useful enough. What is 'spot on and great'?
Mostly the stuff after that. I appreciate:

- mocking the stupid shit that is sold to VCs here (and the stupid shit VCs invest in)

- mocking the "holier than thou" attitude that people often have about HN/community/content

- mocking the need to have an extension to prevent yourself from reading something from someone you don't like

- mocking how worked up people get over this "superficial website"

I wouldn't want to knock the dev, I think that's tacky. I find the usefulness of the extension to be something of a reflection on the person who needs to use it. Anyway, I liked the bits of the comment that are self-mocking of HN, not the extension.
