How does an article simultaneously get upvoted to the front page, but universally destroyed in the comments?

I find the negativity weird, given that most of us here are (supposedly) building things. I think his idea has merit, and is different enough from Youtube Gaming that it can probably survive alongside. I think he perhaps just made a few mistakes -- the biggest one trying to get funding before testing the business model. (Although in his defence, that seems to be happening a lot these days).

Anyway, rather than just whining uselessly here I'm going to actually find his contact info and give him some suggestions.

My guess is that people vote based on titles, and comment based on content.

The article is interesting and relevant, even if its premise is flawed. It certainly merits discussion, critical as it may be.
