Ask HN: Why are HN comments so cynical?

I've been on HN a long time and the comments have always been my favorite part, but recently it seems like the comments have skewed far more cynical or negative.

Yesterday's post where the indie hacker was making 45k a month is a good example. So many comments deriding his businesses, his revenue, or suggesting he was lying (???).

Have things changed or do I remember the past with rosy glasses?
