Some people hate success, or more accurately, they hate the success of others. There are people on HN who want Apple to fail. There are people who want Google to fail. There are people who want Microsoft to fail. There are people who want Amazon to fail. There are people who want Facebook to fail. And so on and so forth.

When any of the giants stumble with a mistake or show a sign of weakness, the people who want them to fail pounce with extreme agitation.

The important thing to remember is they didn't come to HN to contribute, instead, they came here to push their agenda and argue.
