It's a little sad that we need to actually say this, but:
Don't be an asshole or you will be permanently banned.
Respectful debate is totally OK, criticizing a product is fine, but being verbally abusive will not be tolerated.
Focus on discussing the idea, not attacking the person.

What advantage does a hubless bike bring to the table?
No way for street toughs to shove rebar through your spokes and send you flying over the handlebars so they can steal your baguettes and celery.
Looking neat?
Thst is a design advantage, I'll grant you that, but it seems way less practical than a normal wheel.
That's very likely because it is way less practical than a normal wheel.
That's my point, I don't see why a hubless wheeled bike deserves top billing in an article about new better biking consepts.
It doesn’t but it looks cool and intrigues people which means more clicks.
Same as folding phones I guess; novelty.
Folding phones does bring a practical use to the table, you get a phone that you can fold out into a tablet that fits in your pocket.
To be fair, flip phones prevent unwanted user input and protect the screen.
I don't know if it's an advantage, but I've seen one lately, and it was fucking loud.
Like eeeeeeeEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEeeeeee loud.
