Gee, wonder what caused that change over the last decade. Really can't think of a reason.

And just in case you truly believe it's something like "Russian bots" - and I hope you don't - you need to check out the change in the bigger public's opinion on big tech companies, and why it has changed. It's far from just HN.

I would say quite the opposite. Have you considered the position of the general population in your assessment?

I don’t think many educated and working class people are pro- those things at this time

There’s a massive difference between being patriotic and being pro-Meta or pro-Google. And given recent bribes from tech leaders to Trump, I’d argue being anti-BigTech is actually patriotic.
