It's actually the opposite: HN has always had a large contingent of rabid cryptocurrency haters. These commenters show up in large numbers on even highly technical discussions to spam their off-topic pronouncements of moral outrage.
- pwaai 8y agoliterally within minutes of you writing, my comments against ICOs and showing doubt and criticism in crypto/blockchain were downvoted.
- Aramgutang 8y agoYou were likely downvoted because: 1. As @woah said, your statement is incorrect, HN has more vocal crypto opponents than supporters. 2. You needlessly called people "idiots". 3. Your comment was rambling and mostly consisted of whinging and name-calling. 4. HN Guidelines frown on commenting about the voting on comments (yes, I know that's what I'm doing too).
- simias 8y agoYou're right that there are more opponents than cryptocurrency fanboys on HN but saying that they only "spam off-topic pronouncements of moral outrage" you have a very selective reading. There is no shortage of technical issues with everything cryptocurrency-related.
