Corollary: If you can't blogspam the Hacker News, you can't build the blog.
- ColinWright 15y agoIt appears you use the word "Corollary" in a different way than I understand it Perhaps I simply don't understand what you mean. Could you perhaps elaborate and make a complete and cogent argument? Thanks. Added in edit: Not sure why I got the downvote. This is a genuine query - I don't understand how the statement "If you can't blogspam the Hacker News, you can't build the blog." follows as a corollary from the statement "If you can't build the blog, you can't build the business." It just doesn't, at least, not to me. That's why I'd like a better explanation, and not just a quick, throw-away sentence.
- jeffehobbs 15y agoI'm so weary of this absolute garbage on HN. Sub-Shaun Fanning startup BS. Go away.
- ColinWright 15y agoFirstly, I didn't make the video, I have no connection with it. I found it an interesting argument/point-of-view, and I thought it made some useful points. You seem to think it's completely content-free. I'd really like to hear why you think this is complete BS. In short, rather than just dissing it, I'd like to hear a clear and cogent counter-argument. Otherwise you're just adding to the noise. I can see that others agree with you, because despite getting two upvotes within minutes of being submitted, it's now languishing down in the 500's. It's been flagged. But I find it really frustrating that people won't actually create value by producing decent counter-arguments. You say: > I'm so weary of this absolute garbage on HN. I've done my homework, I've done my best to find out what you would like to see, and guess what: You've never submitted anything! I also see that pretty much every comment you've made has been a negative one. That's a shame. So what do you want to see?
