I imagine many Google people are interested, and they get voted up.
You don’t have to read and engage with everything on the front page. And you certainly don’t have to come make snarky criticisms of others.
I think it's good when people share their opinions. No snark detected.
I don’t feel like I was being “snarky.” I also have no problem with the articles being upvoted.
I don’t think it’s very fair to tell people who want to constructively criticize articles to just not engage with them. That feels like a deflection of my points rather than addressing the merit of what I actually said.
Instead of saying “here’s what was wrong with your idea” you said “you’re not supposed to be here.”
I genuinely think the author could read comments like mine and get something out of them.
