Is HN Big Tech?

• krapp 3y ago
  HN is owned and operated by a Silicon Valley startup incubator, so it's at least Big Tech adjacent.

    It is adjacent but HN is just far enough away for 'Big Profit' that it can still have some decent conversation.

  Of course it is, how would you classify it? > The valuation of Y Combinator's companies is estimated to be at least $600 billion as of January 2023.

    As more of a social network than a company? I.e. Garry Tan doesn't have direct authority in the same way that Sundar Pichai does.
