There is, but the majority of HN participants hate the existing banks with a white-hot passion, and rail against those banks, and prefer to store their cash under their mattress, and their photos in Chad's garage, and they actively discourage everyone else from trusting banks, especially the biggest ones.

I don't think "majority", although the word might describe certain topics/threads that have a bit of selection-bias.
