this article has 19 paragraphs of text in just the main article body, making three recommendations.

it’s pretty rich to both decry media literacy issues in sibling comments while completely elastically using the word “listicle”

discuss

There is no actionable advice other than "get something durable". Nothing about filtration grades and classes, about particle sizes to worry about, about how filter choice affects longevity, breathability, stamina, etc.

Were I to recommend anybody join anti-LE riots (which I categorically do not, in this case), and if I even remotely cared about the wellbeing of my readers (which the author categorically does not, in this case), I would touch on those types of details instead of stringing quasi-random affiliate links together using sob stories, self-congratulations and agitprop.

these are exciting new goalposts you’ve decided on! i, too, think that any article that is different from how i would’ve written it is a listicle.

if you’ll indulge me, i’m excited to hear how you have “categorically” decided the author’s intentions

one nit: surely you, of all hacker news commenters, have the extraordinary media literacy to know that the journos themselves do not add the affiliate links or pocket the affiliate link search arbitrage
