Someone posted one of my blog posts on HackerNews again and there’s this comment:

A lot of HN comments are like this – in general, I mean, not only regarding my blog posts.

I’m not even angry, I’m just genuinely confused. 😂 The blog post in question isn’t a rant to begin with. Are those comments bots to drive engagement? Is this humor that I don’t understand? Is the person being serious?

What motivates people do post such comments? What’s going on here?

This is very, very weird to me.

(I don’t use HN, I just notice it by the increased load on the server.)
