Yes, yes. The problem is that we have no choice but to accept AI, as it is already a working tool for many :*(

exactly

While we're at it, I'd like to propose a valuation of $5 billion for Neogaf. Any objections?

Whoa, hold on! That's a lot of money :D

They must already be earning something from the ads.

I don't know if they're wrong. HN's primary utility is promoting YC's job openings and product announcements alongside the more important industry-wide news. Turn it into a generic link aggregator, and owning/moderating/updating the site might be more trouble than it's worth.

You forgot to mention the great discussions that take place here and that revolve around topics that are very relevant to your readers.

It is, but that doesn't bring value for the owners on its own. Something else has to exist on top, or you'd have to run the service and moderation on donations. The forum on its own has negative value.

Now you are talking about value but you asked about cost. They are not the same.

bigyabai is talking about utility from perspective of the owner or a hypothetical buyer, not concerned with the wider community.

You failed realise that bookface is of much much more value than HN.

HN is just a free link aggregator, you can't make money from it.

bookface is only accessible to YC founders, which means YC founders have given a chunk of their company away to access it (as a bonus)

You see, the network of bookface (and bookface its self as a part of YC) is more valuable than HN.

Wow! That's very interesting.

Let's flag comments like these because they come from users who do everything they can to get moderators to ban user accounts that contribute a lot to good discussions on the site. They haven't even bothered to look at the relevant content that I've published here and have come right out and judged it, how stupid!

Good luck with that. The above poster made a submission entitled "Ask HN: What can I do with the karma I've accumulated in my Hacker News account?" where he straight up asks "would I be able to promote any of my products or would I be banned for doing so?": https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41979929. Their contributions are only intended to disguise their self-promotional activities and they don't even pretend to hide it.

Of course, if anyone at all feels above characterization is inaccurate, please do feel free to contact the HN site administrators directly to ask them to look into the situation.

What a beautiful look. I really like websites with this design :)

I'm working on a site that serves as an alternative to Hacker News. There you will find two relevant options (at least I thought so kkk)

1. A notification system. All posts that are commented on or voted on (positively or negatively) will generate notifications on the site for the owners of the respective posts.

2. Diversity of topics. On Comuniq we're not fixated on a single theme, so users who like topics such as health, politics, entertainment, art, etc. will be able to post there and generate very intelligent debates.

We're not trying to take power away from our monster hn, but rather to provide another option where we can talk about other things we love. Check us out at https://comuniq.xyz

things that in a way activate our intellect and stimulate learning

SEEKING WORK | remote

over the last few years I've dedicated myself to building everything that comes into my head, so I've come up with these little projects: <https://chat-to.dev>, <https://wishtogether.xyz> and <https://comuniq.xyz>.

I've mastered the following technologies: Javascript, Php, Css and a bit of Python. I'm looking for something remote to work on and keep my services going because I believe in them so much :-)
