Not saying this isn't true, but maybe this is your own bias that makes you think that way.

#22> pro BigTech sentiment
I would say that your impression comes mostly from the fact that majority of users here, in my view, are from north america, and big tech is inherently "made in usa", as europe is completely impotent in the tech sector(mostly due to the lack lack of financing and high level of bureaucracy). so i would say that it skews the overall opinion. but i would not say that people in here are some kind of "yes men" or die hard fanboys if silicon valley.
on the other hand, i care very little about the "sentiment" or opinion of others in here, so it might be just flying over my head.

#23I spend a ton of time here on HN. I live on the west coast between California and Washington. Lived and worked in Silicon Valley but ended up moving 74 miles away to the coast and commuted in (before internet). Retired now.
I miss the old days: mountain Charlie’s bar in Los Gatos, Saint James Infirmary, Cal’s hamburger’s in Sunnyvale.
Mustard Mikes hotdogs on Skyline highway. The Vortex nightclub in Palo Alto.
Shopping at the old Fry’s store for TTL chips.
Back in 1986 my rent was $293 a month for a room in a really nice house now worth $2.5 million.
