Thoughts on Insurance
By Aaron Harris
- api 9y agoThat's a fantastic example of something that's very wrong with the Internet socially. I heard someone the other day talking about a "great article they read from Medium." I asked "who wrote it?" They didn't know. Medium is a magazine that doesn't pay it's writers. Genius.
- nl 9y agoIt's not an example of that at all though! It was on the YCombinator blog - which I don't think PG has ever written on. He writes his essays at http://www.paulgraham.com/articles.html http://www.paulgraham.com/articles.html
- api 9y agoI think I did a poor job explaining that. I was referring to the original commenter's mis-attribution of the article and how it demonstrates a branding effect.
- soared 9y agoThat is fair, but my point still stands. I didn't see the byline, just the domain and the writing style.
- eduren 9y ago>but my point still stands Does it though? You're criticizing people praising PG but using an article not written by him as the example. If you have another example that's written by PG and relevant to your point then please edit your comment to use that.
