That's true, most of these comments are just drive by pessimism by people who just skim headlines and don't really care to deeply understand the topics being discussed.
18yrs here and fully agree, but it's against the rules to discuss it :)
> Please don't post comments saying that HN is turning into Reddit.
also has these rules though which is a nice reminder
> Be kind. Don't be snarky. Converse curiously; don't cross-examine. Edit out swipes.
> Please don't post shallow dismissals, especially of other people's work. A good critical comment teaches us something.
> Please don't pick the most provocative thing in an article or post to complain about in the thread. Find something interesting to respond to instead.
> Please don't use Hacker News for political or ideological battle. It tramples curiosity.
