It's relevant. We're people sharing and discussing, not a TV show.

The idea that if we're discussing a problem that only people with that problem may share their experience is absurd at face value.

"10% of Americans are uninsured. A US state is pushing to insure all of their residents."

"I'm insured!"

"Open-source software projects are being spammed with LLM generated PRs. Contributions are becoming more restricted".

"I have a repo that isn't being spammed!"

Sometimes sharing a somewhat related experience is completely irrelevant to the topic at hand, and also completely uninteresting. It does not matter that somehow their "experience is valid".

This is a forum where people share their opinions and experience, not a TV show or news story or narrative.

If people's opinions or thoughts don't fit a narrative you want, a forum likely isn't the place to find it.

Everyone gets to share, there's no rules here about not sharing / having a different experience than others.

		Everyone gets to share but it's also completely within the forum rules to call out irrelevant anecdotes as uninteresting to the discussion. I have no idea why you're making a comparison to a TV show; nothing that was described was anything akin to that. I just made examples out of insufferable and clueless forum comments, that very clearly detract from discussion more than they contribute to it. I don't think you should assume that describing meaningless and unrelated anecdotes as "uninteresting" is equivalent to users calling for a forum ban, which is seemingly what you're doing when you point to forum rules when encountering a critique.

Notice how it's always the plight of people that always get immediately dismissed while the incoherent ramblings of tech leaders like Elon Musk, Sam Altman, and Dario Amodei are always taken at face value and immediately never questioned.
