That’s called MakeOrBuy.

Why do everyone go to Facebook [/or HN] instead of self-hosting their blog?

Because Facebook [/or HN] is a bunch of highly skilled experts that have shaped the proper UX for ubiquitous information exchange between humans [/ geeks].

So we, the users, can concentrate on our own business [/ trolls].

I love how so many HN users make up their own "syntax" in comments

"[/or HN]" !

Jesus, lol.. Reminds me of when folks /emphasize/ words like /this/ in their comments. Anyways, I'm just joshin' ya. Personal blogs /would/ make for a superior internet as opposed to Facebook/X.
