There's no comment I could make that isn't already in the parody.

Why are we regurgitating the past? How did it even make it to the home page?

(And why is this the top comment?!)

I still miss n-gate so much. I wonder where that guy went. Hope he's okay.

It’s missing the new comments after 2015

- an archive link to bypass paywalls

- someone self promoting their similar tool/blog

- a wild paid shill

- kagi guy, he brings kagi into most discussions

- the AI slop

Depends entirely on the subreddit and the subject matter.

I’ve got a bridge to sell you. Look past the VC tech blog shine everyone puts on their comments here and you’ll find it’s just as bad as Reddit, if not worse.
