I assume people removed overly negative comments (or they were removed for them?), as at this point there's not a lot of negativity at all, and the top two comments are both pointing out that the Show HN guidelines, which are predominantly about being civil and avoiding negativity. It makes for a somewhat surreal reading experience.

When I saw first read the comments this morning, the now-greyed out comments at the bottom of this thread were the only thing posted. 5 or 6 comments, all variations on the theme "why bother, lol".

Same. From my experience, I think that initial conditions on a thread matter. From what I saw, I was worried the thread would snowball in the negative direction.
