I'm saying that by moving towards explicit "search" and "linking to sources" they have set the stage for being able to charge to be recommended by their search features (ie, ads and pay-to-rank, same as Google search). There aren't any ads in their demo, we haven't seen the real deal yet, but I'll be watching HN for that day.

    They're making $300 million per month in revenue right now, with no ads.

      That is what Google makes in less than half a day by selling ads. It’s a rounding error on their monthly revenue.

  Because ads bring money and companies love money
