My account is more than a year old, and after viewing the submitted link I have to agree with his assessment. Frankly, those guidelines were written years before HN actually did turn into Reddit. In any case, in lieu of casca's seniority, please accept mine as a waiver for that particular anachronistic guideline.
Reddit is..Reddit. I used to think Reddit was dumb and I started going deeper, and quite frankly Reddit scares the shit out of me sometimes. The occasional meme is funny but HN isn't near what Reddit is.
To be clearer, I'm not saying or implying that HN is becoming Reddit. Rather that this particular content looks like it belongs on Reddit given the lack of substance and allegedly amusing animated gifs.
Interesting - did someone just put this together today? I only just saw http://thisadvertisinglife.tumblr.com/ today which seems to be along the same lines. I'm not sure if it's like a "meme" or which one came fast but themed, curated gifs could well be one of this season's favourite things.
