Honestly I love to see something I worked on or wrote and then read the top 3-5 upvoted comments on HN. They help me do better the next time. I usually focus on objective critique and not cynicism.

Top-rated comments can be hit or miss though. Toxic snark under the guise of "wit" can still get upvoted (even when the community rules specifically discourage it).
It does get upvoted. That's a weakness of the upvoting system, unfortunately. We downweight it when we see it stuck at the top of the thread, but we don't always see it.
