> A lot of the hate towards Uber in these threads seems to be about the number of allegations, not that they were swept under the rug
If you have a large number of harassment incidents, it's completely relevant to question if there is a culture problem in the company (a problem which was denied outright by the parent commenter), and IMO this is what HN seems to be doing. Especially when you have accounts of Uber having a "frat" culture trickling down from the CEO and some senior executives condoning (this is probably too strong a word) such behavior.
My point is Uber isn't being treated unfairly by any means.
