Top and 3rd comments on the HN thread are both criticism, and if you actually read the follow up article on tech crunch:

Some say it’s dumb, some say it’s great, and a lot say something in between

What do I feel about it? It feels fresh

Mind you, it’s on a massive hype-train right now so take it all with a grain of salt

That doesn't sound like you're not allowed to criticize a startup.

To me those statements feel like they're covering their ass for being positive on the rest of the article about an app that's ho-hum at best.

Fresh? What exactly is fresh about it?

What? That's the least critical hedging comment they could have possibly made. "some say it's dumb" is their extreme negative? Really?
