Ye that is true. I am trying to rationalize why I am not hypocritical right now :) I think the difference is that you created your own forum and community on Reddit under the pretense that it is yours. Reddit more or less sucked up the existing forums. And then Reddit throws more and more ads in your face and siezes control of the means of memeing. HN seems to be run in a different way. Many of the old forums were run by commercial entities, but at the time they did not try to profit from the forums in such a in your face way.
