All commenting is attention seeking, my question was: why do it antagonistically like this?
And further, why go on a (holy) mission to convince people funding companies is bad? That's a weird windmill to tilt at...

I dunno, I think it's a growing sentiment and am glad they brought it up.
Svelte, SolidJS, Remix, and NextJS are all tied to San Francisco venture capitalism and that's got me worried about their future.

It’s not a weird windmill, it’s deep philosophical position (breakneck property ownership based anarchistic capitalism) that is leading to the wanton destruction of society across the world.
How does the thing that enables society also destroy it?
How do anabolic steroids, which make me big & strong, also kill me?

Because they have a political agenda to push and have decided that Hacker News is a good place to push it (even though that's a blatant violation of the HN guidelines).
Why do missionaries go where no one believes their religion already? The idea that you must already be a believer in some community to participate in the community makes little sense and certainly isn't a good way to make progress.

Would you also characterize your own reply as mere attention seeking?
