Those sentiment-analysis comments ("HN hates X", "it's sad people have to be so negative") really irk me. Likely thousands of HNers viewed the link. 100+ upvoted. A couple of random accounts (individual(s)? bots?) leave similar comments. And then somehow those comments are supposed to reflect a wider sentiment of some community or population?
