If you want piece-of-mind, don't build sandcastles on a corporation's beach with the waves lapping at your feet.

  What is the sandcastle in this story? Safari? EDIT: Forgive me, I’m cranky. Of course the communities resting on Reddit’s beach are themselves the castles. I’m so tunnel-visioned on the API aspect that only used that lens.

    The sandcastles are the communities built around subreddits. The subreddits are on a corporately owned beach, the owners are building a mall, and the sandcastles are in the way.

  Here we are in a lovely sandcastle built on a venture capital firm’s beach.

    I guess you can get karma here? But it is not as if anyone is attempting to build communities on the HN platform. I'm not even generating worthwhile content, let alone doing tens or hundreds of hours a month of free moderating. I don't think it is the same at all.

    This one doesn't have to make money, I assume
