Yeah I want to meet Gareth. I’m that person in day to day life. I can’t make it a day without going on one of these rants.

- you are also a part of the problem are you not?
- you are writing a post on your blog and sharing it on HN?
- what is your objective? traffic? email? newsletter signups? eventually sell some course to them?
- it is always easy to point fingers at someone with a bigger budget

The horror that an individual dares to have an opinion as opposed to corporations or councils.

The writings of an individual human and the writings of an advertising/propaganda machine come from different places and achieve different results.
Did you literally never stop to think about that, or are you deliberately shaming individual thought in a bad faith manner?

I will be totally honest, it is hard for me to want to engage with content that is clearly written by AI.

Is Gareth the cat in the picture at the top? Is the cat writing the blog post? I agree with the sentiment of the article but it doesn't have a solution. Everyone has to hustle to make it work.

Thanks Gareth - we all want and need attention, some more than others. But yes, it would be nice if good manners could be folded in more often.
