"This might be an unpopular opinion, but a nonprofit/charity will never make as big a difference as a true for-profit vehicle that is pointed at the same problem."
It's certainly not an unpopular opinion on HN, home to hordes of corporation-loving, free-market worshiping libertarians.
- tomjen3 15y agoI have downvoted you because your comment is an unwanted personal attack on this sites users. If you disagree with his, in my opinion correct, assumption then please argue such so that we can all be smarter. Thank you.
- Khroma 15y agoI didn't read it as a personal attack. The OP's post is not that "unpopular" on this site because this website is full of libertarians. pg is one, I believe. Most entrepreneurs of course, support capitalism and free markets. In fact the proposition that "a nonprofit/charity will never make as big a difference as a true for-profit vehicle that is pointed at the same problem" likely resonates with a majority of users, although I can't really provide a figure, this is from my general experience with the site. I don't think that the parent post is supposed to be an attack on the opinion, but pointing out that it's actually popular.
