There are some that visit HN that are highly paid and often of a different class in society. There's a remarkable lack of sympathy displayed by some small subset of HN readers towards those less fortunate. At least in American society, classism is a huge issue and prevents a lot of good being done in the world.

- rchaud 8y agoI would wager there are just as many on HN in the "temporarily embarrassed millionaires" camp. They side against pro-labour practices, using many of the same arguments made by rich industrialists, because they feel it's only a matter of time before they themselves reach the top of the heap.
