Leaving out key parts of a quote is a disingenuous way to attempt to make a counter-argument, especially when the full quote clearly contradicts your second sentence.

>But I think you do need to make it visible to radarr/sonarr.

Sort of. You tell Plex where your directories are for movies and TV shows. All you have to do with Sonarr/Radarr is have them dump the finished downloads into their respective directories.

tl;dr - "Which turd is more polished?"

>im not angry at all btw, its just fun

So you keep asking what you've done wrong and why people are mad, yet you've learned nothing. The over-inflated ego and hubris you have are astonishing.

>... I do think my design choice were directly responsible for how viral this was, which is something really cool.

You've literally admitted to forcefully signing up everyone at your university, and then telling them that you'd done that for them. How can you not see that whatever "virality" you think you had is because of that choice, and not your "design choice"? Are you seriously this daft?

>... I honestly don't really get what the need to freak out this much was, I was "moderating" it, so like if you dont like something someone said [0] , you cuold have just told me and i'd take it down.

IT SHOULDN'T HAVE BEEN UP THERE IN THE FIRST PLACE BECAUSE THEY DIDN'T CREATE THEIR PROFILES, YOU DID. It doesn't matter if you were moderating anything, nobody involved gave their consent. You forced them into that position.

>And also I think people are really really overlooking the 'cool' part of the website, which i thought would be the real discussion at hacker news, like all the design choices i made, the virality, everything, like that was really fucking cool i think...

At no point in your linked post do you stop and highlight those things. There's no discussion of the technical aspect, how you streamlined your code, prepared to scale, what makes your code special or unique, what about the UI/UX might be unique or groundbreaking, what's running on the backend, nothing.

No, your entire post was about how you refuse to see how what you did is wrong while you complain about the reactions that everyone else had. You failed to talk about anything else but your ego and your hubris, how you would rather tell someone, "bitch come suck my dick," instead of trying to have a constructive conversation with them, and now you're mad that that's all that we can see?

Good god, child.

Edit: And for the record, it wasn't even natural virality, it was forced. People only visited your page because you forced their profiles to be on there and then told them what you did. For something to be viral, people have to want to go their and use it on their own. I am not shocked at all that you cannot see this.

The point is that they shouldn't have had to ask you to do that because their profiles shouldn't have been there in the first place. You didn't have their permission to do that, and yet you did it anyway. How can you actually be surprised at the outrage when you are fully aware that you essentially forced everyone into that position without their consent?

You keep asking people what you did wrong, but you have refused time and again to even begin to attempt to consider why creating profiles for everyone without their permission is wrong.

HN doesn't care about virality and something being "cool" the way you think they do, especially when all you're doing is copying what a famous CEO did nearly two decades ago, the very CEO that most of HN extremely dislikes now - and you wonder why you're getting the third degree?

Step off the internet for a bit and think about the feedback you're getting. Stop insisting you're awesome and that the project was cool and that we're all wrong, and consider what you're hearing. Your ego is tremendously over-inflated.

They wouldn't need to report it if you hadn't put their names there without permission. Further, you signed them up to be notified of comments without their permission.

Doesn't matter what people wrote about them, the simple fact is that you did that to them with their data. That you can't grasp the concept of crossing private boundaries like that is disturbing. Stop laughing about this and start looking inward.

Go, have your fun, experiment, fuck around, push boundaries. Don't make profiles for me based on info you found, public or not, and then sign me up to receive notifications for messages on it without my permission.

Yeah, Facebook started in college, but it didn't start with scraped data and auto-generated profiles.

Facemash, Mark's pre-facebook project, was a page to vote on student attractiveness, with names and pictures of female students scraped from Harvard.

I will not hold my breath waiting for someone to defend him.

Ah, true, I forgot that bit. My bad. Still, though... oof.

And zuckenberg turned out to be an asshole later, creating products that cause harm and supporting Trump.

So, it all checks out.

For values of "later" equivalent to "at that point".

I suppose it would be worse without the notifications, even though they are form of spam, because then you wouldn't know what some anonymous posters are writing under a purported profile of yours.

Exactly. Ostensibly, one would assume that getting closer to the place you have a ticket for wouldn't flag the use as "suspicious". To have OP demand that everyone use the app, but then blame the user for... traveling to the venue? Wild.
