I think you are overestimating HN's influence. Not sure if honesty is the right word here either. The open compensation model was probably deemed a competitive advantage for their target audience and it is no longer the case. Taking a side on some controversial topic will always invite criticism.

I was using HN as a proxy for "geeks being Mad Online" on the basis that reactions everywhere else were probably if anything worse.

I agree re competitive advantage, though, I was explaining one of the reasons I thought that had come to pass.
