I've noticed that Hacker News has become increasingly strict with tone lately; almost to the point of aggressive "tone policing." It feels like you’re expected to maintain a very diplomatic tone: praise the author, acknowledge the strengths of the article or video, and only then, very carefully, offer any criticism. You can't just bash it, and not get downvoted :)
That this is downvoted to the point of being greyed out proves what it says is true.
I honestly don't feel motivated to write comments anymore. Just my $0.02. Feel free to gray this out as well :))
