You don't really know if people are happy with what they have. They just get what they get because that's all they can do. If your building outlaws window units, just because they have portable units - does that mean they're happy with a portable unit?
> This sounds like gatekeeping. There are lots of readers from all around the world.
American readership dwarfs every other country and region. It doesn't matter if there are "lots" of others when it's a US based website. YCombinator itself is mostly about investing in US based companies. Just look at the number it invests in in the US vs every other place. https://www.ycombinator.com/companies/ https://www.ycombinator.com/companies/ It isn't gatekeeping - I'm asking for someone to put in a more accurate title. After all - if I put "Rules of the road" up and it was Japan's rules of the road on an American website, it would be misleading. One would be expecting something relevant to the website they're reading it on (an American one!) while reading it but - instead - it isn't. Thus, bad title! It would be better to say, "Rules of the road in Japan".
> In the US.
How many times did I reference the USA in my comment? Five times. Guess I should have done six so that people wouldn't get confused about where I was talking about!
