> Man, don't you understand that you are not allowed to critize Apple here. Don't touch my walled garden and (fake) privacy. The community here over the last few months and prominent people in the Apple developer community itself have been very critical of Apple and their behaviour lately, so I don't feel as if this holds true.
His downvoted comment would say otherwise. For comparison, FB might have done more harm, so I guess one might expect it but just notice the difference between the near unanimous dislike for FB compared to divide in criticism of Apple. Out of FAANG, only Netflix might have higher positivity around them in HN.
He is downvoted because his comment isn't useful or encouraging healthy debate, not to mention its tone and spelling mistake. It reads like a snarky, angry man posting irrationally late at night.
