How a hot dog is spiced is a critical component of how it's judged. Ketchup mutes the spice in the meat. Mustard, on the other hand, brings it out.
People who put ketchup on hot dogs are likely people who grew up eating shitty, tasteless Oscar Meyer dogs - it doesn't matter what you put on them.
I think it is just the opposite. A crappy hot dog needs the strong spice of mustard to give it flavor (or mask the crappy flavor). A good hot dog has flavor that stands on its own. That flavor can be complemented with toppings, and then it is just a matter of how you want to complement the hot dog flavor, whether it is with ketchup, mustard, sauerkraut, onion, etc.
I have a random thought "Discuss" I get annoyed as fux with the "discuss" in OP's.
So is sauce from a jar.Merely an attempt to justify putting ketchup on hot dogs, which is a sin.
Catsup on fries, burgers, Mustard on hot dogs and deli meats like pastrami/corned beef. Have to watch down here in Georgia where I live or they will ruin my burger by putting mustard on it at some places. Always try to remember to tell them NO MUSTARD! Mayo on any cold sandwich and occasionally along with catsup on my burger.

I heard this morning that Heinz started selling "Chicago Dog Sauce" as a way to get around the Chicago tradition of no ketchup on hot dogs (and at $5 plus $2 shipping for a 14 oz bottle, it is an overpriced novelty).
But it got me thinking why are so many people vehemently opposed to putting ketchup on hot dogs. Some say it is because ketchup is too sweet. But there doesn't seem to be an objection to putting even sweeter relish on hot dogs. Plus sweet and salty are complementary flavors, which is one of the reasons prosciutto pairs well with sweet melon. Others say that ketchup overpowers the flavor of the hot dog. But mustard is a much strong flavor. And I'm not sure how someone in Chicago can be concerned about ketchup having an overpowering flavor, when they are topping a dog with yellow mustard, sweet relish, chopped onion, tomato slices, a pepper, and celery salt.
So what is the real objection to ketchup?
II used to be a Sriracha fan but the it became too hipster-y so I don't use it much anymore.
I disagree. Hipsters only like things that are popular and tell everyone they made it popular...That is the most hipster thing I have ever heard.
Hipsters hate anything that is too popular.

Your sense of smell and taste change as you age.
So, as you become more adventuresome with the hot & spicy food
- try not to get depressed by the fact that it can be largely attributed to the fact that your taste buds are dying off ....
& it takes a more & more intense jolt of flavor & spice & seasoning to really give you an explosive taste sensation.
I used to be a Sriracha fan but the it became too hipster-y so I don't use it much anymore. But hot dogs and Sriracha are good.
"Nobody goes there anymore. It's too crowded"So you like sriracha and think it tastes good on a hot dog. But you won't use it because it is too popular?
Yeah but I can't do it. Made my son a burger one day and he requested mustard on it. All I could think was where did I go wrong? LOLInteresting that on almost all cooking shows, chefs put mustard on the burgers rather than ketchup most times...
So you like sriracha and think it tastes good on a hot dog. But you won't use it because it is too popular?
So in other words.... We are so screwed.
We are doomed...
If you're truly Dutch, you'd dip your fries in mayonnaise.Ketchup for burgers, fries, Taylor ham (or pork roll) and hash browns.
Anybody over the age of 12 who puts catsup on hot dogs lacks sense of taste.
The ketchup bottle has probably been sitting in my fridge for a couple years and has only been used as an ingredient to make cocktail sauce. I will not even put it on a burger anymore. If you have steak sauce or siracha or fresh tomato, why use ketchup?
Then I'm truly American. But my truly Dutch grandmother used to put ketchup on speghetti noodles. I'm glad I married an Italian(American).If you're truly Dutch, you'd dip your fries in mayonnaise.
I always eat my hotdogs with ketchup.
