Weight-loss drug found to shrink muscle in mice, human cells

It concerns me how discussions, such as this one go on HN. This is an important topic. With the epidemic of obesity we now find a drug that appeals to a large number of people. This is an important topic as well.

What is the current comment receiving most of the comment?

"That's the sort of headlines that smells like bullshit to me"

That's the sort of comment that smells like bullshit to me. What kind of place is this?

Many times I find the posts on HN interesting, but increasingly these kind of comments make me wonder about Y Combinator. Is this really the best they can do?

And for us readers who are supposed to be so called hackers, is this the best we can do?

The HN you are yearning for disappeared about 8-10 years ago when it was largely taken over by normies and people way outside the hard-core-tech fold. It's not very different from Reddit front-page now if the topic is even remotely political.

For purely technical topics you expect good quality discussion, but those threads barely get comments in the two digits.
