They are biased. They are cry babies. They want attention. Stop giving it to them. TC & Pando stories should be banned from HN.
Add.: Maybe it's my introverted nature, but it really seems that this industry is heading to a place where if you aren't a complete arrogant ass without shame who can strut around going "Look at me I'm so cool! Look what I do!", your project won't get any mainstream attention. It makes me sad.
- tptacek 14y agoThat's not going to happen, because those sites are useful to YC companies.
- methoddk 14y agoThen there needs to be an alternative. Anything Arrington, Lacy, etc. are affiliated with will be plagued with corruption, terrible writers, and self-important nonsense.
- tptacek 14y agoThere doesn't need to be an alternative if what we have now is effective for YC companies. This isn't a moral issue. You might have an easier time finding an alternative to HN.
- untog 14y agoit really seems that this industry is heading to a place where if you aren't a complete arrogant ass without shame who can strut around going "Look at me I'm so cool! Look what I do!", your project won't get any mainstream attention. It makes me sad. I don't think that's "this industry", I think it's "every industry". And I'm not sure it's a new thing, either.
