It is a relatively recent issue. HN was a lot of our escape for Slashdot. But HN has developed the same bandwagony, anticorporate, managers suck, other people are stupid angst.
In the last few months it has become a monoculture similar to Slashdot. The general view has become if you don't agree you must not know what you are talking about (this is seen upthread).
Stories like these allow people to dislike Intel, say it is run by dumb managers, and just generally complain.

It's a common reaction when we feel like our own opinions are being attacked or undervalued but it means we fail to appreciate and value the side that is worthy of our support and appreciation, and we fail to take responsibility for the role we all have in making the site better. Comments lamenting how much better HN "used to" be have been a constant from not long after it began: https://hn.algolia.com/?query=%22hn%20used%20to%22&sort=byPopularity&prefix&page=0&dateRange=all&type=comment https://hn.algolia.com/?query=%22hn%20used%20to%22&sort=byPo... Please, if you want HN to be good, be the change you wish to see!
