- sciurus 15y agoWhy was this downvoted? Although I don't think that PG has any need to monetize HN, he's said that 'job listings are the ads here'. I assumed that meant they brought in revenue that helped cover the cost of running HN.
- wahnfrieden 15y agoI think the ads here are only YC-funded companies, and so they're just a way to promote his investments, rather than a way to charge companies to list here.
- ericmsimons 15y agoAhh gotchya. For some reason I thought there was a rule against posting jobs as submissions on HN.
