An aside to those curious, linking to jwz's blog from HN is not liked by him, and the website, if it detects a direct visitor HN redirects to a vulgar NSFW image. This apparently is a work around.
- deafpolygon 4y agowhy?
- happytoexplain 4y agoI can understand not wanting the traffic, but it sounds like he has something personal against the HN userbase. Do you know what that is?
- aliqot 4y agoIt's complicated.

- opportune 4y agoSome people have a deep intrinsic need to be contrarian. His criticisms of HN are especially ironic given his involvement in startups and his fortune coming from a Netscape liquidity event
- ghusto 4y agoCheck the link to the "NSFW" image. If you don't want to: My interpretation is that he sees it as a place where business ruins good-will technologists.
- bearmode 4y agoMost people on here are libertarian techbros. Hard not to hate.

- dorkwood 4y agoHere's the NSFW image, if anyone's curious. https://cdn.jwz.org/images/2016/hn.png https://cdn.jwz.org/images/2016/hn.png
- whateveracct 4y agoAccurate
- politelemon 4y agoI resemble that remark
- happytoexplain 4y agoOh, I was thinking it was going to be something more shocking. I can appreciate this flavor of grumpiness.
- captainkvvnr 4y agoIn light of this, his grandstanding about the open web and open standards, etc. falls a bit flat if he implements such referrer-based tactics.
- Am4TIfIsER0ppos 4y agoWhy do you allow the referrer to be set? https://www.jwz.org/blog/2022/11/psa-do-not-use-services-that-hate-the-internet/ https://www.jwz.org/blog/2022/11/psa-do-not-use-services-tha...
- amadeuspagel 4y agoIronic, given this post. Hive is bad, because it doesn't let you link to posts from other places on the internet, like ... his own blog?
