Every time we have a thread about Soylent on HN, without a doubt, it turns into a debate between people who love the product/concept and people who absolutely loathe it.
I've always found it interesting that a lot of the most disruptive companies have this effect at some point, in various degrees. Apple, Uber, Airbnb, and recently Secret all come to mind.
I'm not saying this is any kind of a predictor for the success of Soylent, but it's still interesting.
- jack-r-abbit 13y agoSoylent threads also get a lot of snarky and rude comments directed at the people who love the concept. The others you listed (with the exception of Apple) don't get that so much. I don't think I've ever read an Uber or Airbnb thread where the people against it were so rude to the people for it.
