Yep, I find HN better than most places, but specifically there is an ideology here with a lack of skepticism toward technology and its effects, and people are quick to rush to the defense of big tech corporations. I cant tell you how many articles about one of these companies i’ve come across where the top voted comment trivializes, generalizes away, or outright dismisses the article when the company is portrayed in a negative light. Even in the antitrust Google article thats on the front page still you have a Google employee arguing against the article in favor of Google, and explicitly denying that he has a conflict of interest. Which he absolutely does, by definition.
