Hey Joemi, Benchoff here. Glad to see my work is at least noticed.
To respond to your calls of clickbait, yes, I do have a habit of writing articles that are picked up on Hacker News. I see that you have submitted a total of zero items to HN, how about submitting a few other articles from Hackaday (sparing myself, of course) to HN? I'm sure they'd appreciate it.
I'm not calling your HAD articles clickbaity because they get picked up by HN... I meant they had titles that were actual clickbait, like you were goading people into clicking out of anger because you'd say something inflammatory or because you phrased something in a certain way so that it sounded wrong. (And then you'd continue the goading in the articles.)
That said, I just glanced through your more recent HAD articles to offer up some examples and they don't seem anything like that anymore, so I'll give your stuff another shot. I guess your style's changed since a little less than a year ago when I noticed and decided to filter out all your articles from the RSS feed (in particular because you were telling people who offered corrections to your articles that they're "shitting up the comments").
As to my zero submissions... I'm just not a submitter. shrug
