i don't normally log in, or comment, on hackernews--and i normally don't ever comment negatively on things i see on the internet--but how is this news?
i am sick of seeing people fawn over people striving, and succeeding, at being capitalists.
- pedalpete 6y agoIt's CNBC, if you don't want to read this kind of garbage - and I agree with you, it's junk - don't read it. Pick your sources. A better question might be why is it on HN? TBH, I'm actually more surprised that this is a billion dollar business, as far as I can tell, built on top of AirBnB. Why this one business over all the other companies that are managing multiple units on AirBnB?

- oh_sigh 6y agoIf you have a couple hours to spare, pull up the home page of foxnews.com or cnn.com and try to find the first article that isn't 1) broad national/global news (news covered by 100 other major outlets with the same facts that don't originate from the site), 2) submarine or bald-faced marketing(including viewpoint marketing), or 3) fluff human interest anecdotes(Jeanne Moos I'm looking at you).
- forgotmypw17 6y agoBut that's why I don't go to those sites, and come to HN instead. Just like I don't look for something to eat in a latrine.
