I prefer the “rather old interface” over whatever this is. Whats the point of so much whitespace? On the desktop screenshot, only two downloads are visible in the window. In any decent client you would see at least 10 times as many. Stop this obsession with wasting the user’s screen real estate, I do nit want to buy an even bigger display
I think the same every time I see reddit posts here. I come here to escape the constant reposts, fake and low quality posts, 0 value comments on Reddit. And then some users decide it's time to make HN into a reddit repost archive. As for the actual post, it sounds super fake to me, and I really hope it is.
