"HN has an older userbase and why do they dislike Millennials (if for reason different than the article)?" - Disagree with the premise that HN dislikes millennials.
As for claims in the article:
1. "Millennials want to be a part of something they find meaningful. Their work needs to matter, both to them and to the world."
- Hence the spate in "meaningful" startups, like "Yo" and the anonymous gossip and social shaming apps (is it called whisper our secret?)
2. "Millennials want to build deep, authentic connections with people. They want real relationships."
- this is merely the author's opinion. Divorce rates among millennials are Just as high, if not higher, than boomers. Empirically, dating millennials didn't really increase the seriousness of the relationship.
Millennials face a shrinking job market from the outset - unlike the boomers. Robots will make many careers obsolete, and no amount of "against the grain" attitude for the sake of it will hide this fact. Then there's outsourcing, which you cannot run from.
