There will always be people that don't like a site's content. If that is the case, I feel they should try to help add better content. Hacker News is still a small enough community where the actions of 1 person can be felt throughout the whole thing.

Also, a fair amount of people seem to care that this is happening, so why wouldn't it get on the front page? It seems to me that the submission guidelines are somewhat flexible to account for this sort of thing.
