Counterexample where HN was wrong: the famous Dropbox comment.
1 comments

Yes. There are far more wrong on HN than right. In fact the Web3 / Crypto example might have been the outliner.
There are random commenters (like me!) saying various things all the time. But there is kind of the weight of the mass of commenters. That's how we got to the semi-consensus (except for the crypto partisans) that web3/crypto seemed to be in a massive bubble with no clear use case and lots of likely fraud. Notice that for the AI boom going on right now this is not going the same was way as web3.
