With topics like this it's worth waiting for ca. 12h (depending on your timezone) and then reading the whole page of comments at once. I'm here 4h after you, and I saw 2 most upvoted comments as pretty sympathetic if not outright supportive to the company. There's a lot of discussion below them, with both sides being represented near-equally. There are some bad comments - one or several words of generic dismissal or insults, and one lengthy incoherent rant - but they are mostly flagged, dead, or downvoted to the bottom of the page. I believe using HN (for whatever reason) is a skill in its own right. If you want to use it as a tool for escaping your own echo-chamber, it takes some more thought to get right. Once you do, it works a significant percentage of the time, which is kind of impressive for a simple marketing platform of the Y Combinator (which is just a bunch of people with money and a bunch of people wanting that money to build or expand their business).
