Why Is Silicon Valley So Obsessed with the Virtue of Suffering?

I feel the point you're making. The title is clearly linkbait, almost none of the comments I've read here are positive or feel the article is making a clear and well-evidenced point.

Yet it's on front-page as though it's relevant, when it appears the majority are balking at the article.

I think it's a question worth asking.

Comments seldom represent the majority in any venue, and for that matter "votes" don't necessarily either. However it's a general observational piece about a philosophy some prescribe to. Seems pretty interesting and worthy of conversation to me.

Articles are meant to promote discussion, not affirmations of belief.

Meh, the bar has to be higher than that. If you call a hoard of people speaking up to reject the article's validity successful because it "promotes discussion" then I don't know what to tell you.
