Have never understood the impulse to dunk on someone trying something new when it does not impact you in any way.

I think it comes from envy? Ie, it’s often people who are dissatisfied with their own way, but are too lazy or afraid to try something new So they try to neg the “impossibility” of change into existence

I’ve come to the belief that all negativity comes from insecurity. Almost all the “bullying” type behavior I witnessed as a parent seemed so obviously that it came from the bully’s own insecurity. Then I started to ask myself why would it be different as adults? Once I started seeing it this way, it just becomes hard to find any logical reason to dunk on anyone, about anything. And now when I see someone dunk on someone else, I just feel sorry for them and want to give them a hug and tell they are enough lol

Some definitely comes from insecurity (as others said), but IMO the other half comes from overfitting from expertise. Common HN commentator: someone Very Smart thinks new thing is dumb or obviously a scam. Anything crypto-related for example, like the Classic Smart Finance Person, or the Classic Smart Distributed Systems Person. Anything cryptography-related was another classic example that predates crypto, Classic Smart Cryptographer is very upset that someone dares attempt to improve on usability of Very Serious encryption workflow.

Agree. Insecurity and subconscious desire to bolster one’s own ego by criticising someone else.

The primary driver of venom is frustration. Money being the vehicle of the most primal emotions in the age of homo economicus, it's only natural that a social network based on a distributed system of value should be frustrated.

it's also a bit of "tell me you missed out on the current thing without saying you missed out on the current thing" and insecurity. and projection.

ppl love to be right and it’s easier to be right by betting on failure than to be right betting on success

Be curious not judgemental as Ted Lasso says. I think it's one of the simplest and best quotes to remember.

I know all the psychological reasons that people do it, but it still just makes no sense to me that they do it. It's just such a waste of energy that they could be using to try something new themselves.
