I count 4 Uber stories on the front page today. There have been a few every week since the past few months. Will this sordid saga ever end? I feel this is like watching a newsreel about the same topics every few days.

Theranos had a similar treatment a month or two back. News and sordid sagas (and many things in life!) are all rather cyclical.

This is a super annoying sentiment:

* why cant we shutup about snowden already

* stop posting about uber

* plenty of other examples

* get back to talking about [tech topic] that truly is tech

etc...

These are important issues. snowden was critically important to discuss. uber is important to learn from.

anyone attempting to shut down/stifle/limit discussion or examination/reflection of topics that stem from, affect, and, largely define, in the minds of those not in tech, the overall image of tech, should be regarded as having dubious intentions.

Don't overreact. The person you replied to was just expressing frustration with a "sordid saga" and questioned when it will end.

It's totally legitimate to feel that way. Conflating it with "stifling" and "limiting" discussion, then suggesting it has a dubious intentions. That's a little dramatic.

Yes, I get where you are coming from. I know my comment is somewhat irrational. That is why I examined my own sentiment - why do I want this news to stop? Because it feels like a rehearsed newsreel, a daily television drama. I'm afraid that scrolling HN might soon become like scrolling facebook. Maybe its just personal over-saturation for me, sorry in that case.

P.S. 5 now.
