well, good news for the HN community! start your engines, reddit will do what so many user-driven content sites have done - light themselves on fire. slashdot, digg, they never learn. yes, the network effect is a huge moat. but then you actively alienate your users and then it goes FAST. good luck to the aspiring entrepreneurs going after this opportunity. don't even need a strong business plan, not like you can make any real money - but you'll get funding for years to come :)
