I think we were all more susceptible to hype when we were 15

  Maybe, but I can tell you when I was 15 I didn't have instant worldwide reach and the on-the-Internet-nobody-knows-you're-a-dog effect at my disposal, and neither did my readers.

    I grew up with if you build people will come. I don’t think it is like that anymore …

      I think/hope that it is still like that, just that haters are a subset of people, whose opinions are currently disproportionately magnified.

      Now it's "tell people you're thinking of building it and they will come" [see Kickstarter et al.]
