That got downvoted fast! A price one pays in modern society for having an opinion different from that of a crowd.
Hacker News group-think is strong these days. Instead of bothering to stop and post a counter-reply, many just downvote like it's Reddit, and move on.

I've been a few times recently, whereas in the past my counter opinions would have kicked off interesting debate.

Generalising is also expensive.
