I think he sees angels as more of a blogospheric enemy than a financial or business enemy.
For everybody who's seriously involved in business around Hacker News, there are quite a few dabblers and posers, and a lot of people who get their rocks off by writing about business rather than doing it. There's also a lot of people who are immature and naive, haven't seen much, and get a 1-dimensional view of things... who ought to have some different perspectives on business than you usually see around HN.
But then again, you could also be hanging around people like Eli Aliosi and Nicky Cakes...
- il 16y agoIt's funny to see those names here, they are both industry friends of mine. There are thousands of affiliates quietly making six and seven figure incomes without any angel funding or hope for an exit. I know, I was one of them. terra, are you an affiliate marketer too? How do you know those guys? It seems like HN is dominated by startup guys rather than people building successful smaller scale businesses.
