People are welcome to downvote my comment, though the quote you cite is referring to links, not as much comments.

> The test for substance is a lot like it is for links. Does your comment teach us anything? There are two ways to do that: by pointing out some consideration that hadn't previously been mentioned, and by giving more information about the topic, perhaps from personal experience. Whereas comments like "LOL!" or worse still, "That's retarded!" teach us nothing.

As you may have noticed, there are a couple of comments regarding the use of the .ai TLD. A legitimate conversation can be held on whether or not .ai should be generalized for "Artificial Intelligence", possibly to the detriment of people in Anguilla.

The only site on the internet that will meet your requirements of "a place where I can grok and find only useful info" is one you write yourself. What you consider to be "useful info" is going to differ from what other people think.

And, of course, you should consider that your comment is, if anything, a more egregious example of a useless comment, detracting from the conversation.

You can hide comments with the [-] symbol. Use it.
