- tgflynn 5y agoInteresting, for me that makes the consistent strong sentiment here against cryptocurrency and especially NFT's all the more surprising.
- warrenm 5y agoJust because NH is a subdomain of YCombinator doesn't mean it's "run by" or "is their" site
- tgflynn 5y agoI'm pretty sure it is though. I mean I think dang is a YCombinator employee. I also don't know of many sites that let 3rd parties run their subdomains, unless they're explicitly and obviously set up for that purpose, like maybe wordpress.com.
- warrenm 5y agoBut the content isn't inherently "YCombinator-approved" :)
