When some has commented "Maybe it's just me, but the Jobs worship on HN is getting pretty annoying.", it is vapid, as you say and without any tangible value or merit.
I disagree. It started a discussion and then you replied with how it isn't really out of line for things that people like.
Cognitive bias in action.
Yes, I agree. That's why it is good that the person commented and you replied. If they had just ignored the article, they wouldn't have received that information. How would anybody ever learn anything if we just read and discussed those things we already agree with?
Nothing of merit. It's wasted the time of at least three people. If the OP had kept such a petty thought to themselves, the world would be no worse off. Nothing insightful has been shared...
