Kind of feel like saying that HN didn't/did love those projects is a bit too black and white. Many of those submissions do have a lot of dismissive comments, but lots of them also have a lot of comments praising the project one or another way, explicitly or implicitly. Some of the highlighted comments also aren't even the top 3 comments, yet they're used as indicative of what the HN community loves or not.
But I guess that isn't as interesting to people today, nuance seems to be something people try to avoid, rather than seek out.

- embedding-shape 9mo agoWell, at least nuance won a tiny battle if so, and I'm happy I could contribute to it.
- andyhedges 9mo agoNuance!? This is The Internet, we can't be having any of that here.
- Imustaskforhelp 9mo agoThis reminded me of this song which actually shows the extremism of things in Internet. Welcome to the Internet - Bo Burnham: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k1BneeJTDcU https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k1BneeJTDcU "Y'know wasn't always like this, not very long ago.. just before your time.. right before the towers fell.. circa 99 this was catalogues, travel blogs a chatroom or two, we set our nights and spent our nights waiting for you." "It was always the plan to put the world in your head." "Could I interest you in everything all of the time? Apathy is a tragedy and boredom is a crime. Everything and anything all of the time" Bo Burnham is amazing. Another (interesting?) song is jefferey bezos song https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lI5w2QwdYik https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lI5w2QwdYik [Bo Burnham: Inside - Jeff Bezos] Recommend everyone to watch both music if you have the time and the first one for sure.
- latexr 9mo ago> "It was always the plan to put the world in your head." “In your hand”. It’s about smartphones and tablets. But I second the recommendation.
- Imustaskforhelp 9mo agoOh yeah my bad. I was listening to the song and wrote it as it came. I definitely agree that it was hand, I may have (mis-listened?) it. The song is so good! I agree and actually the In your hand discussion is even more relevant now than my accidental type of head that it can be a relevant discussion in it of itself.

- AlexeyBelov 9mo agoPlease stop using HN, if you're going to be obnoxious about it. This is not the first (or second, or ...) time I see you saying exactly this. Not a valuable contribution.

- Betelbuddy 9mo ago5 billion dollars will be the price of a Big Mac meal, after President Trump fourth mandate and the dollar collapse. Historians now refer to 2029–2032 as The Great Trumparinflation. It began when President Trump, in a surprise move, appointed Kid Rock as Chair of the Federal Reserve because he "understands America and probably money too"
- nindalf 9mo agoHonestly, if every HN thread was just filled with positivity it would make this just a worthless circlejerk. No one would bother reading the comments because we'd already know what they say. I rely on comments for giving me a more realistic picture of something. I'm not saying OP should change their site to do this, but asking an LLM to generate a thread consensus/sentiment would be more honest. And for every Dropbox there's a WeWork, which got slated here for being absolutely delusional.
