Some things on HN seem to have become more polarizing over the years I've been browsing this forum. Some examples include blockchain (and all related technologies) and anything related to Elon Musk. Both are tech-related, so frequently appear, but the conversation around both has become more polarizing, and I think we see that on HN. In most threads involving those topics you find skeptics arguing with proponents. In general, this discussion is what we want on HN, however, due to the polarization, it comes off as more angry/intolerant/reductionist/etc. That's my 2c.
