That one sticks out.

I hate having to recalibrate how I read comments on websites. We are basically in the spam days of e-mail without any filter in sight — gasp! an em-dash! totally sus… — the cost of writing an extensive comment in faultless prose has fallen to nearly nothing, so it gets posted. Just like spam the reason for doing so seems to be for minimal effect, to move a discussion in some direction by minute degrees, or simply for the attention — perhaps to build up a credible-ish account?

Faultless in terms of grammar and orthography, but very verbose, horribly hard to focus on, full of emptiness and terribly boring, each being way more faulty than a few typos and language mistakes. Maybe I'll just start flagging these comments and HN posts more systematically.

Have been intentionally not fixing typos in anything I post as a shibboleth, hoping the slop producers dont catch on.
