HN saw a problem with snide negativity, and has decided to solve it with mindless optimism and nasty remarks towards anyone who expresses criticism. See the Amazon drone thing.

It's not a good solution.

Unsolicited comments telling people why they are going to hate their new device, particularly when they are side reasons rather than core functionality, isn't healthy criticism. It signals to me that the criticizer is looking for any and all opportunity/excuse to talk down about the device.
it is hardly unsolicited. If you don't want people to reply to your comment why are you posting?
Sorry, I think the term I was looking for was unsolicited criticism, not unsolicited comments.
