Yeah - the existence of this post is really an example of it.

"Is anyone else <obvious case of pandering to common HN tribal confirmation bias for a dominant position on HN>" -> lots of upvotes and in-group people agreeing with each other.

It's basically just hating on an HN out group.

Good crypto/finance conversations HN on are unfortunately not possible. I just flag posts like this, they're just flame bait.

Wow this thread is incredibly toxic. People openly admitting to passionately hate groups of people they don't know. I thought this website was better than this.
