The article's subtle implication that we are all changing the world but it'll take time for that change to be realized is truly arrogant and delusional.

Of all the possible conclusions that could have been drawn, this one is the farthest from truth.

Never say never; it makes you seem very close-minded.

Click on Get Started and no seamless transition, but rather a very abrupt page load.

Thanks for questioning the honesty of the site. Your comment is truly productive and, sadly, at home against all the jaded (and envious) comments here on HN.

I feel bad for your "friends."

Saying they aren't comparable isn't right either FWIW.

Glad the title was updated from the previous titlegore. Thanks, mods!

"while you were away" nonsense? A feature that shows you popular tweets from only people you follow. How is that nonsense?

There are people that would like Twitter to just be a straight-up, chronological feed of tweets from people that you follow.

I'd love it if the infinite scrolling shit went away and I could look at tweets by last hour, last 12 hours, last 24 hours, etc, and then paginate by day after that.

He doesn't want to see it and there's no option to hide it. FB is also full of attention catching crap like that, it's all engineered.

You act like engineering things that most people like is a bad thing.

You're not going to please everyone. Even people who will like it a month down the line will hate it when you first roll out the change. And we should you have to support (|feature|!) different websites?

Like or is being exploited based on genetical brain responses to like because of the result of the "quest for new information" ?

This behaviour is psychologically engineered to trigger more dopamine fueled hits and with it fueling site engagement.

Everything you like is based on brain responses. Fueling engagement with your product is only necessarily harmful if your product is harmful.

I hope you don't like music, movies, amusement park rides, love, etc., because I have some bad news for you.

Because thats my twitter feed. Really I don't follow more people than i can keep up with, so I want to read _all_ their tweets.

Which is apparently a usage pattern nobody at twitter gets.

I'm not sure why you're being downvoted. This seems like a legitimate question.

pseudointellect · on Aug 11, 2016

I'm being down-voted because I'm arguing for a feature that all-knowing "hackers" on here feel is hampering their user experience. Because they know what's best for every product they use. And everyone uses that product in the exact way they do so the product should be catered to only them.

Not similar at all actually. You're talking about software written over a couple of years (by humans) that is supporting our current biology versus biological processes that have "optimized" us over tens of thousands of years.
