Top comments always have to be so negative every time there’s something cool on the front page…



That's because people here have grown up and see the world for what it is, how products like these play out, how incentives around them are structured. Most of the cool things like this are bait.

Seriously. It takes extreme naivety to take a SaaS business at face value today. Patterns of exploitation are well-established and easy to spot. Once you see this a couple of times, including in offerings you got so excited about - or worse, you get burned by them personally - it's hard to be anything but bitchy about tech.

The comments may be negative, but the bigger problem is that they're also not wrong.


Look how tech is employed against lower wage workers. It is a good idea to be extremely vigilant about anything "reporting". I think people working in tech have a responsibility to not behave like 14-year old fangirls.
