I think pessimistic and cynical reactions are the literal lifeblood of news aggregator comments sections. It's been like this for as long as I can remember across as many aggregators as I've ever used.
Part of the problem is that news aggregates reward people who comment early, and the earliest comments are the kneejerk reactions where you braindump thoughts you've had brewing but don't have anywhere to put. (Probably without actually clicking through.)
