Hackaday Rant – Page 1

Their content quality (outside their own original articles) is almost entirely dependant on what they find around the net, and mostly on what tips people submit for them to check out.
They are bankrolled by Supplyframe, and rely on advertising (which requires clicks) so they are always going to be throwing in the easy clickbaity topics. It’s either that, or eventually not exist at all.

So stop your whining, and either start making your own stuff to submit (I’ve submitted my own projects 3 or 4 times and had my stuff shown every time within the week), submit tips to the stuff you want to see, or go make your own link aggregation site with blackjack and hookers and only the coolest of hardcore projects without a single Arduino and all the 555 timers..

What makes me laugh the most though, is how those complaining the loudest about Hackaday keep going back over and over like a junkie to crack.
If you don’t like an article, scroll that little mouse wheel to the next one you do like. It’s not philfromsealttleaday or floobydustaday or TERRAOperativeaday, everyone is going to like and dislike different things, you complain about this, they complain about that, the other person complains about something else….

Why can’t we all just get along?

Hackaday is not much more than a content aggregator. They aren’t making this stuff they show off (besides a couple of their own projects here and there), they are basically just linking to it with a blurb about the project.(I’m not going to touch the Hackaday.io thing here, that’s just a big steaming pile of badly designed website poop).Their content quality (outside their own original articles) is almost entirely dependant on what they find around the net, and mostly on what tips people submit for them to check out.They are bankrolled by Supplyframe, and rely on advertising (which requires clicks) so they are always going to be throwing in the easy clickbaity topics.
