I’ve noticed this with Tesla, too. I imagine that if people could take short or long positions* in programming languages and technologies, it would be difficult to find the current quality of reviews and discussion around those topics. I’ve been a fan of futarchy and prediction markets, but this phenomenon gives me pause. * I’m aware that investing time, effort or credibility in a technology is taking a long position in it, but direct financial positions seem to incentivize a different class of behavior (EDIT: probably because they require an investment only of money, rather than of these other resources that produce commitment or knowledge).
