No, we really don’t. We don’t need a bot bringing marginally positive value for a single person and shitting the bed, cluttering everything with stupid useless noise and bringing negative value for everyone else. "Be more like Reddit" is really not something HN should aspire to. If you like Reddit, it’s ok to be both there and here.
years of trash flooding reddit comments obviously. Hes got a good point. Not all additional information is good. In fact the majority of data is garbage. Its hard enough to sift through the existing mound and i've tried to scale back my contribution to the noise (its hard).
Not really, and I also use it, when I want the sort of things that I can find there. It’s just that most of the time I don’t. I am not really anti-Reddit, but I am very anti-noisy bots.
