Having a single supplier for a critical business function means you're just one billing/contract dispute away from being out of business.

I don’t know, if a startup spends a million dollars on AzureWebCloud and the world’s dumbest Billing operations subteam kills their account and somehow manages to make that decision stick, the startup can pretty easily cost AmaGooSoft a billion dollars in enterprise value via HN.

That may be true for hot YC companies. For the rest of us, if complaints on HN made that much of a difference, I'd think the App Store review process would be less hostile, Google would never discontinue a product (or raise Maps prices), and Oracle would be out of business.

The difference in those cases is a) importance to business and b) readily available credible alternatives. Perceived heft of the startup is pretty irrelevant to whether their thread gets stickied to top of HN for next 48 hours.

In particular, while one can complain about their policies for renting access to them, AppAmaGooBookSoft have mortal locks on distribution to their users, know this, know it occasionally does not thrill their customers, and “don’t care” would be overstating but “accept that” not.
