I love Black Mirror but I don't understand why people feel the need to downvote you for expressing your opinion.
I've been noticing more and more perfectly acceptable comments greyed out that I'm starting to wonder if I should just create a bookmarklet that just ungreys them all since I can't trust HN users to use their downvote privileges properly any more.
Looking at the thread as a whole, I'm the only commenter stating they disliked the show. I think I'm just being downvoted for an unpopular opinion. I'll live. :)
I agree about the trend, but in this case I do agree with the downvotes. OP states that 'the show is shit' and then makes it clear they have only seen two episodes. In the context of discussing the show, that seems like a comment of very low worth to me.
There were three episodes available to me on Netflix. I said I skipped the last one and why. Isn't that me just being honest? I'm explicitly telling you that I'm only references the first two episodes because I made a conscious decision to not watch the third based on the terrible quality of the first two. Rather than ripping it all for no reason, I'm telling you EXACTLY what I didn't like and why, and how far that opinion should be taken. I'd think that's a legitimate expression of opinion.
