Make it stop

Acquisition announcements really bother me. They used to fill me with joy, seeing the companies I follow get acquired. Now, I can't stand the announcements that sound like they came straight out of the "announcement generator" tool. I saw the thread on the Hacker Pad announcement emulating exactly how I feel about them.

They all sound exactly the same! I don't know where the excitement went for me, and I am sure they are elated to have been bought by such a large and successful company but I fail to see how some of these garner so much attention.

Give us numbers. Give us the nitty gritty details.

Otherwise, we don't give a shit!
