It's probably not as simple as I'm about to make it out to be, but to me, it just seems that positivity is not rewarded nearly as much as negativity. How many people will upvote a Show HN on the new page, opposed to an article about "X is wrong," "X is shutting down," etc.? How many people will upvote a compliment or genuine feedback?

"I hate this too" goes a lot farther than "I like this too."

Maybe I'm on the wrong site if that's what I'm looking for, but I suggest anyone reading this try to boost some of the more positive comments they see.

I think as humans we are prediposed to attend to negativity rather than positivity. If things are well, we can safely ignore them. If things are not well we need to attend them to potentially fix them or arm ourself with knowledge that will prevent it again.
