HN definitely has

- above average content

- more well-thought-out comments

- a more technical, intelligent, and successful userbase

than the average website.

Or are you really trying to imply that it (and it's users) are not much different from, say, Reddit or a Fox News's comment section or TikTok or Facebook?

HN is full of people that think they are smart about everything because they have above average knowledge in technology. I can not even start counting the number of uninformed but confident comments I have read here about my non-technology fields.

The problem is these people were told that software was going to eat the world, so they anointed themselves as Certified Experts In Everythingology and think their garbage takes are the word of god.

No I wasn’t taking a jab at HN; It’s more a jab at anyone who thinks “most people are stupid” and excludes themselves from that set of people.

>more well-thought-out comments

Oh really? this one couldn't be bothered for a single complete sentence:

Don't kid yourself, this place is filled with karma farmers. Stop sniffing your own farts

"more" is not "all" or "always"

Being better than average at a couple things is extremely common. It's not delusional to point those things out.

Most websites are good at something (excluding spam sites).

Is it really that important to you to "win" the argument, that you had to write this piss poor comment to argue your point?
