I don't understand why all criticism is being considered flamebait. Yes some of it is flamebait, but the worship is some pretty juicy bait too.

Not all criticism. I posted https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32769925 because the thread was filling quickly with bottom-of-the-barrel stuff at the time. Edit: I mean comments like these (chosen at random):

Once that sort of comments were no longer so prominent, people thought I was asking them to say nice things about the monarchy. It took me a while to realize what was causing the misunderstanding, and once I did I demoted my post. It was basically a victim of its own success.
