I don't see this succeeding. Not only is tech extremely hateable as a demographic, not everyone is a corporate bootlicker (outside of this forum)

  > Not only is tech extremely hateable as a demographic Oh boy is this incorrect. Outside the Silicon Valley / well-educated upper middle class / tech worker bubble, tech companies are more trusted than most political parties and government and religious institutions, and this is true across the world as polls show. People who are not into tech have no idea about Google's business deals or App Store anti-steering provisions. They use Google as long as it delivers great results, and switch to searching on Tiktok or asking Chat GPT if it doesn't. HN is probably one of the most anti-tech places on the internet, maybe outside of Mastodon.

    I'm not so sure. You sound like you're describing the older generations and their tech swoon. What I am hearing lately, and from coming-up generations, is very much anti-tech. I think HN is more the bellwether.
