Yeah, I just posted a short opinion piece from my personal blog on here and was surprised to see someone criticize it first as clickbait and then because I didn't cite any sources or scientific research.
Then again, maybe HN being especially critical helps keep the quality of submissions high.

IMO if someone’s going to take the time to comment, I’d prefer to to see it be constructive. I don’t know to what degree critical comments influence HN submissions, though. That’s a good point.
