Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here's the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.

This is not debate club. Unless it’s amusing debate.

what do we pay this dang guy for, anyway

he has many responsibilities:

  • sometimes he disagrees with an article title that’s entirely accurate and people aren’t buying his assertion that it’s clickbait, so he adds a question mark to it to try to make the article look less credible
  • tone policing
  • ignoring blatant flagging abuse
  • adding sites and posters on YC’s shitlist to the autodead filter
  • his bonuses are almost definitely predicated on how many of Garry Tan’s many fash friends feel comfortable posting on the orange site
