Downvoted for facts. What is this Reddit?

Everyone here is so unhinged.

I guess what we're seeing is selection bias - people clicking on this HN story will be those who are interested in DeepSeek. And those people who are invested in DeepSeek may not like the facts that you presented.

It's annoying that social networks work this way. The upvote should be for high-quality content and the downvote should be for low-quality content. But .. well.. human nature and tribal dynamics always seem to win.

Yeah, I think you're right. I saw a bunch of other posts that were negative about DeepSeek also get trashed.

HN just hates the big labs, so any story about some open weight model "eating their lunch" has gotten huge traction for the last year, while the big labs have grown their revenue 10x. HN is like the Jim Cramer of market adoption of tech.
