Honestly I don’t find those kind of comments particularly valuable on HN. It derails the topic from a meaningful discussion and the whole thing devolves into a Reddit troll fest. All you need to do is glimpse at the replies it spawned to confirm it. This is why I assume it was heavily downvoted.
No it's not valuable at all. I'm just replying to a person who got particularly upset by it and seemed to take it seriously. Just ignore them or downvote and move on.
