Ask HN: Do you find utility in the hide button?

1 points by methyl 4y ago ↗ HN

The only time I click it is when I missclick and it’s super frustrating.

Does anyone find it actually useful? I have a feeling deliberate clicks to misclicks would not be in favor of the former.

yes, quite useful, since it also hides comments in the discussion, not just the link.

“Hide”s expire, which is something to keep in mind.
