Millions?
I highly doubt it.
Those that make a profit do it largely on the backs of ads, which isn't what is being discussed. We're talking about actually charging for a web property which remains shockingly rare.
- axod 16y agoYeah. Because earning money from advertising isn't real money is it. It's imaginary money you can't actually use for anything. You're absolutely right. How silly of me.
- ergo98 16y agoThat's some cutting sarcasm there. You must be a grizzled internet vet. Only it's asinine given that what we're talking about is CHARGING, not running ads. Meaning "To use Hacker News you need to buy a $5/month subscription". I look forward to what your rapier wit comes up with next.
