Man, I swear to god, the comment section under an article always seems to drive just the shittiest, lowest quality, most "microwaved thinking" takes on any given subject, regardless of the side they take in the discussion
Reading just a few of those comments makes me frankly sad.
Phoronix has notoriously dumb commenters. I don't know why exactly but it's really notable.
Hackaday too. Again, not sure why. They're both significantly worse than Reddit, HN, Ars or here. Maybe even worse than YouTube comments...
Phoronix is a drama mongering site so of course the comments will be dumb, just like the articles.
Hackaday's comments are bad mostly when the article is about Linux. Electronics stuff gets better comments.
More specifically it is full of older people who refuse to change. They learned electronics in the 20th century and don't want to see anything newer than 2005.
Eh works for me, I value different opinions
