Once upon a time commenters here used to refrain. The “I’m sure they have thought” or “I have no experience but” or “Can anyone” is a reddit spillover. It’s not peak, this is post-peak decline unless we improve the discourse.

Also sarcasm and cynicism is cheap karma. It’s better to only comment constructively.

I say all this because you me and GP have been around here a while.

This tendency has been around since at least 2007. There was no HN golden age; it has always been like this.
