- tyingq 7y agoThanks for the direct contact point. Disappointed, though, at the implication. Why wouldn't HN care that paywalls were reducing their value in a big way? (my 'unlikely to succeed' rebuttle: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=21393799 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=21393799) I sent this to the email address you suggested: "Please see https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=21393799 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=21393799 I wish to keep my relative anonmity as "tyingq" on HN, but feel pretty passionate about this submission: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=21393799 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=21393799 I respect @dangs historical appreciation for real complaints, and would REALLY appreciate his reply and advice in the thread. ...with my full appreciation of your opinion and limitations... really. I fully think the WHOLE community wants to know."
- tyingq 7y agoMy submission to AskHN was flagged, despite some upvotes and comments. Yay, paywalls go undebated again. Why is it so controversial to discuss, openly, the effect of paywalls on the open HN discussion model???
