That's interesting. I have never had anyone reference my prior comments. Maybe it's because I don't say controversial things? I wonder what the difference is.

- mywittyname 3y agoI've had people reach out to me because of past work I've talked about on here. Mainly potential startup founders looking for opinions/feedback. The only time I ever look at someone's post history is if they are interesting, insightful, or famous(ish) (and use their real name).
- fragmede 3y agoFor local industry celebrities, like geohot, Jeff Barr, patio11, or select few from https://news.ycombinator.com/leaders https://news.ycombinator.com/leaders, people track what they say, or at least I do, simply from having run across their sometimes prolific comments, and get a sense of their views on things, even if the exact wording gets forgotten. So when they say something out of character, it reflexively seems weird enough to go back and check.
