I've almost completely stopped reading /. since I was turned on to HN last summer.
1. /. has too much Popular Science-ish golly-gee-whizz hoax-level never-gonna-see-the-light-of-day crap that seem to only be vehicles for sucker investments.
2. /. users are more from the video game playing IT nerd in his mom's basement crowd that has very few life experiences outside of Azeroth. The comments sections are almost always a poorly modded, troll filled mess. Ugh, and the politics threads are particularly bad.
