If you think this is 'conspiracy' talk - enjoy this quote from Satya Nadella:

> In fact, this morning, I was reading a news article in Hacker News, which is a community where we have been working hard to make sure that Azure is growing in popularity and I was pleasantly surprised to see that we have made a lot of progress in some sense that at least basically said that we are neck to neck with Amazon when it comes to even lead developers as represented in that community. So we have more work to do, but we are making progress on all dimensions.

EDIT: I don't mean this to be an indictment of the moderation on HN - on the contrary, I think an amazing job is done to balance out this stuff. It's just crazy to realize that corporate efforts on HN are important enough to mention on an earnings call!
