My first instinct is to tell you that "HN" is not a single monolithic entity; it is thousands of entirely separate individuals, and opinions will vary widely between any one of them.

On the other hand, yes, the capitalistic focus those kinds of people have is indeed disgusting... but remember that you're on a U.S. website filled with people working in the U.S. tech industry. Unfettered capitalism is so deeply ingrained in U.S. culture that it's entirely natural to them to prioritise money and shareholder value.
