Is this a volunteer role or a full-time job?

  I hope he gets to invest in the fund!

    Yeah, really... HN has been instrumental in generating good publicity for YC.

      > HN has been instrumental in generating good publicity for YC This is literally why it exists.

  As far as I can tell from this article [1] - The lonely work of moderating Hacker News (2019) - it's a full-time job. The article was discussed at length on HN [2].

  It's a full time job to help a VC fund make more money. This thread is bizarre and cult like.

    Ha yeah I was making fun of the (many) people who think this is some kind of noble labor of love.

      It is OK to compliment people for their good work, you don't have to work for free to receive praise.

        I don’t disagree. That doesn’t change the fact that many people don’t understand what HN is.
