Ask HN: Are we too much focussed on Big Players?

This community is awesome. Firstly, because of so many great hackers, and secondly that it truly shows the actual Power of Web. I mean such a great deal of fun stuff (and useful) come out with the hobby based projects. So much knowledge is out there when people write not for optimizing and monetizing the site. (seriously, do you still read full article on techcrunch or skip just after reading the headline and clicking on the mentioned site link)

And here's my question. Are we too focussed on Big companies. Almost 75% of buzz we hear is either about MS, Google, FB or Apple either suing each other or adding an extra text button somewhere on their homepage which a tech reporter noticed. And maybe something about a startup raising $41 million in funding. Does it even matter? And isn't the web meant to be the way rest 25% portion? Which is right now dying out. just want to hear your opinion or is it that I am the only person who is giving a thought to this.
