Part of the issue may be that the community doesn't know what the current rules are for activating the black bar. So it's difficult to discuss productively. I'd be surprised if there's any bad faith here. Anyone know how it works?
Well, I give up. Seriously. Got downvoted twice for no real reason (as far as I can tell). This is why Iām always ambivalent/afraid to post direct questions/opinion on HN.
