alt Hacker News> Another random blog post about the broken iOS keyboard would not get any traction.
Nonsense. Complaints about Apple’s declining software quality get a lot of traction on HN. Here’s another example from today:

And lookie here, what was submitted within one hour of that post?

This exact same submission! Which didn’t get any traction then. The traction this is getting has little to do with the quality of the post, it’s popular because it’s another thread where we can air our grievances.

There are dozens of blog posts about this, and this one is trending on HN.
Anyway, why are you so upset about this? Why are you calling my comment "nonsense" and obsessing over this counter? It's clearly having an effect on you, which was its purpose. Realistically, another post about Apple's borked keyboard should create zero emotional response, yet here we are.
Why so agressive? You're making a conclusion from a tenuous correlation. I upvoted TFA because I've been annoyed with my Apple keyboard and them not fixing it. Not becaue I saw some other post on window resizing. Judging by the other comments here a bunch of people are in the same boat. I've been complaining in my social circle about it and have partially switched to Android as a result.
