I really, really doubt snarky HN comment sections are “scaring” any companies away from layoffs.

It’s not just snarky comments, it’s general societal perception that the comments are just a small part of. Comments, memes, jokes etc. all add to the global perception of something. If you’re dismissive of them you don’t understand how the modern world works.

Comments, memes, jokes etc. and other forms of slacktivism haven't exactly been persuading companies to have fewer layoffs either.
