Maybe so, but please don't post unsubstantive comments to Hacker News.


Is it unsubstantive to state that the potential demise of social media is a good thing?

If you ask me, unsubstantive would be to nip potential discussions in the bud.

As an aside, thanks for proving my point. Social media is a cancer upon humanity so long as its purpose is to manipulate and direct the people.


Plenty of HN users post thoughtful, substantive critiques of social media. If you had done that instead, it would have been fine. The problem is that what you posted was a shallow, indignant denunciation with no information in it that the rest of us could learn from. That's the kind of comment we're trying to avoid here, on any topic.

If you wouldn't mind reviewing https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html and taking the intended spirit of the site more to heart, we'd be grateful.
