It's pretty interesting to see the increase lately of comments defending various companies. Not saying there's a conspiracy but it's a bit weird

Hacker News has always been like this. The site is specifically targeted at people associated with venture-capital-funded startups.

A very large percentage of those people are former FAANG employees, employees of companies trying to get acquired by FAANG, or employees of companies doing exactly the same things that FAANG are getting criticized for. (Some are all three!)

I doubt any of them are getting paid to AstroTurf, but they know what side their bread is getting buttered on.
