Why would you expect downvotes on ZH?
HN is more aligned with ZH than not in the sense that it seems most on here believe the stock market is rigged or a bubble or otherwise not a sound investment.

Mention the stock market and everyone screams bubble and casino on here.
I think HN shares some skepticism, but in general isn't quite as right leaning as ZH seems to be. I enjoy reading both for viewpoints along the entire political spectrum.
For one thing HN doesn't allow ZeroHedge on the frontpage, it's banned from getting there. I suspect posted links to ZeroHedge get auto killed as well at this point (haven't checked lately, however it used to be the case).
It's considered a non-reputable source, filled with propaganda and comically absurd pessimism about the world ending every other day of the week (they've been wrong about the last ten years to such an extreme degree that they should shut down the entire site if they had a conscience). It also posts very pro-Russia propoganda on an almost daily basis. Their bias is interesting, although most sites have one; theirs just happens to be Russian in nature (not a great bias for an economic / business site, given Russia has no functioning market economy, a dictatorship, and has seen zero net economic growth for a decade plus).
Every great once in a while they post an article that is actually interesting, correct and outside of the normal channels of what the mainstream sites are willing to say. They publish a few of those per week, you have to dig through the trash to get to them.
It's got dutch disease, due to its oil reserves, with most of the economy focused on resource extraction (and the rest being the service sector), but that's still a market economy.
