Stripe owns Hackernews. They consistently get their new product offerings to the front page with huge points. Yes they're loved by the Hackernews community (and rightly so) but I wonder if their ability to get their stuff to the front is less to do with it's relevance and more to do with their army of hackernews accounts with tons of karma. Just a thought.
