There is even an iPad ad. But no submissions about the iPad though.

I didn't mean "from that era". I meant literally "from that day". As in, the day the Apple iPad was announced https://www.apple.com/newsroom/2010/01/27Apple-Launches-iPad...

The announcement post had a bunch of unhinged comments about how it was a garbage product.

Ah ha, this was hard to find, but here's a post from that day: https://www.reddit.com/r/reddit.com/comments/auw6b/the_ipad_...

Haha, this is great. And you can tell that with 2400 points that was going to be at the tippy-top of things considering most days the top few posts have under 1k points back then on reddit.com https://web.archive.org/web/20100202213044/http://www.reddit...

I knew I remembered it right! The comments are artwork. Explaining how it would be so much better if it had a lid and a keyboard. Oh my sides. I looooooove it.
