alt Hacker News> "how hard could it be to do <thing i know nothing about>?"
This is most Hacker News comments summarized lmao. It's kinda my favorite thing of this place: just open any thread and you immediately see so many people rushing to say ''well just do X or Y'' or ''actually it's X or Y and not Z like the experts claim''. Love it.
In this case, it’s movies and TV, which most people enjoy. So there’s a superficial accessibility to the problem which encourages this attitude.
Of course, HN being the place that it is, the same type of comments are made about quantum entanglement and solar panel efficiency.
