That is approximately as true of Hacker News commenters as it is of Substack writers.
- olliecornelia 4y agoSure, but HN commenters aren’t trying to get paid by commenting.
- rvz 4y agoOr promoting and creating a newsletter grift on every tweet.
- Veen 4y agoI’m curious, what definition of grift are you using here? Do you consider all paid writers who promote their work to be grifters, just writers who have newsletters, or just writers who have newsletters on Substack?
- Veen 4y agoNo, we compete for community approval, the pleasure of “well actually…”, and meaningless upvotes.
