I don't think their chosen approach has resonated well with their users at all (emotionally or intellectually). People find it hilariously insincere and insulting.
It seems it would be better received if they were up-front in this instance.
They might as well tell their users, "This is how it is. Take it or leave it." Instead of trying to wrap that same message in a layer of false sincerity and lies.

Then again, huge swathes of their user base may in fact be HN or people influenced enough by people reading this article to delete it. It's hard for us to know from here. Speaking for myself, I'd never even heard of this company, so I doubt it's an HN darling particularly.
