The church of Apple likes reading nice things about itself.

There's lots of people religiously invested in Apple here on HN, which seems to have Apple (and it's share-price) as the better part of their identity.

It's a bit awkward for sure.

Would HN actually affect the price of AAPL though?

Why would they care about HN if HN readers are not all Apple worshippers?

The postings by Gruber that make it to the HN front page are not nearly that one-sided.
