Why does a polishing cloth hit the HN frontpage (twice)? What's next? Hand towel? Dish sponge?

#13You can pick up polishing cloths at half the price and that are compatible with all computing devices, including all current, former, and future Apple devices. Not just those in the “compatible devices list” of this $9 polishigncloth.

#14I always wonder what the rationale is inside Apple to sell a separate cleaning cloth. There’s no way this is even a drop in the bucket for their business, and neither is this some strategic judo move where they can undercut a competitor’s business.
Apple devices are fashion accessories, like sunglasses and watches, which all come with polishing cloths.

#15What is happening to HN? What is it about anymore? Posts and comments critical of any tech CEO doing shitty things or technologies that affect millions of lives are routinely flagged, while posts about a dumb piece of fabric with no special characteristics that almost no one will buy hit the front page multiple times.

I don’t understand the point of this post, (not your comment that makes total sense and I agree)

You're missing the meta: upvoting stuff like this is ironic shitposting-adjacent, so people upvote it.

Marging and fingerpointing in case the customer damaged the screen with some "third-party" cleaning cloth.

#19You'd think apple would be incentivised to sell it at as low a price as possible, perhaps even as a loss leader. More polishing cloths sold means more polished iDevices, which improves brand perception.
