  > This is very argumentative and shuts down the discourse before it even begins. It's not very in the spirit of HN. There cannot be productive discourse where people advocate forcefully taking things from other people that worked hard to earn the things. The spirit of HN is entrepreneurship. It is literally run by a VC business - not for the goodness of their hearts or whatever, but to foster a community of thinkers and doers. This line of thought is toxic and antithetical to everything YCombinator stands for. It's just a shame it's being coopted into such an anti-entrepreneur place largely by those who think so little of themselves as-to believe they'll never be capable of being thinkers or doers. You don't need to be the next Bill Gates, or next Uber to be successful and build things of value. But if you ever do, you'll have a ton of people wanting to tear you down just because you dared to be successful.

    > you'll have a ton of people wanting to tear you down just because you dared to be successful The article describes DoorDash intentionally deceiving its customers to gain their money, and wilfully depriving the restaurant owner of control of their brand. That's fraud. It's perfectly fine and in the spirit of HN to debate how contributes to measures of success.
