Sure, just saying don't let the local sentiment change you. I personally have found the opposite once outside the echo chamber, granted like HN, I am naturally pessimistic/skeptical. I've found common-person use of tech and common tech business to be nowhere near as negative.

Which still doesn't change anything about them being (serious) problems. It just means that people who don't have a clue don't have a clue. > There are several things that make "problems" more or less problematic, one of which being hyper-focus on negatives, which is why it's relevant. No, whether anyone is paying attention to a problem has zero influence on how big a problem it is.
