    Some of Twitter's best content creators have given up on it. That combined with blue tick prioritisation and lack of moderation has seen it turn into a cesspit. I don't see why tha…

    Care to give an example of something of yours that was censored? I've been on Reddit for almost a decade and only seen nasty ad hominin attacks and hateful speech censored. Seen pl…

    From Wikipedia: "A straw man is a common form of argument and is an informal fallacy based on giving the impression of refuting an opponent's argument, while actually refuting an a…

    This is a bit of a straw man technique. You've framed the argument to suit your counterpoint.

    6kg for an ebike frame is not lightweight at all. Downhill mountain bike frame with traditional aluminium tubing weigh less and have to handle much greater forces.

    The author cites examples from Stripe and Pinterest, which are actually just anecdotes around usability testing, not recruitment of users. I would argue focusing on sales puts you …

    The article actually barely touches on positive thinking. The more important factor is divergent thinking. I suspect the article's title is designed to generate interest. It's a st…
