I don't buy this. None of the specific instances are coming to mind, but I feel like we get stories that come across about folks pulling cheeky (read: manipulative put through a 'cute-hustle' lense) stunts in the name of getting up, and I think HN generally sees those 'outside the box' efforts favorably. That said, maybe I'm full of it. The thread about the AOL kid was actually really awesomely balanced and there were plenty of reactions on both sides of the aisle. I might be attributing a tendency to the HN community that doesn't exist. My memory's not good enough to be trusted, frankly.
