Is it me or are there a lot more posts on HN where people are just complaining in the title?


No. I just checked the front page [1] for each August 21 from 2014 to 2024, and there is typically no or one complaint in the title. Some lamenting here and there, an uplifting tone every now and then, but most of it is neutral.

Perhaps you are running into some negativity bias? [2]
