Alright, if you'd like to find counter examples I'd love to see.
I've heard your sentiment before so I decided to actually go and check. I don't believe I cherry-picked. I tried to pick a balance between the earliest mention and the largest comment thread (sometime the earliest mention had zero comments).
I know such malcontents exist, I'm not disputing that. I just believe the evidence stands that they are not the majority voice.
Personally I've been using hn hype as a proxy for investment advice for years. Whenever I see a bunch of fanboys pop up, I go off and buy the stock. Whenever they are negative, I consider selling it. I bought things like Tesla and Bitcoin based on hn hype, both in 2011.
They're way more right then they are wrong, just saying.
