I don't think people are downvoting b/c they agree/disagree/love/hate/care about the people or companies in the article; my take on it is that you are getting downvoted because your comment had no substance and was just sarcastic whinging. Your comment could have been straight outta YouTube land and I don't think folks here appreciated it.
Perhaps. YC has a history with TC, so I think it bothers fans of these guys as well. After all, it was posted here, and then up voted. And Calacanis is a contributing member here.
None the less, I agree that my comment added nothing of value to the conversation, and that along merits the down votes. But ultimately so did the original article.
