Selling Hacker News for only $1k? That’s an absolute steal!

  I'm not so sure. Any attempt to monetize this site would blow up in your face.

    Perhaps sell links to software job postings which start on the front page? HN readers are already used to this.

      They been doing that for years already

        That's what "HN readers are already used to this." means.

      You haven't noticed the same "Disrupt the housing market job posting" and others that manage to hit the front page on a regular basis?

    This site is already heavily monetized. Basically every yc startup gets exposure to a broad tech audience. Shit ain’t a charity.

      At least it's generally relevant to the audience. They also get more than exposure, they get feedback. Good deal for them I'd say!

    Being able to manipulate the ranking algorithm to your own benefit is monetization.
