I doubt you are addicted to information. I highly suspect like many users of digital technology who are able to consume near infinite streams of said, that you are like a wasteful software program "polling" these data sources hoping that something really important will surface or that some underlying truth will be revealed through identifying patterns in the information. I dont think you would need someone to publish…

Hey all: " Please don't complain about tangential annoyances—e.g. article or website formats, [etc...]. They're too common to be interesting. " https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html

I think people may disagree with you on what constitutes a tangential annoyance. Is there any point at which the format is, in fact, a legitimate annoyance?
