You are engaging in behavior that is explicitly against the rules here. You should stop.

- tptacek 2y agoYou're wrong. It's explicitly against the rules, as Kasey said. https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=false&query=shillage%20by%3Adang&sort=byDate&type=comment https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=false&qu...

- soheil 2y agoPretty sure he's following the rules and besides what business do you have imposing on this thread when you have nothing to contribute in terms of the conversation? To say biggest "private equities" in the world own large portions of each other is absolutely correct. It's nitpicking to resort to technicalities of what arm of Blackrock owns what arm of Vanguard, not at all the point and it only distracts from the main point about conflicts of interest when it comes to the control of publicly traded media, NBC, CNN, newscorp (almost all media that matters) and thus suppression of free speech. You're wrong.
- slowhadoken 2y agoThank you. I get a lot of this litigious attitude on Hacker News but the bad actors are either wrong or trying to instigate irrational arguments. Like someone will post something political, I’ll point out an inconsistency in their argument, so they accuse me of starting a flame war and downvote me into oblivion. There’s more opinion making, control of narrative, and group-think on this site these days. It’s weird.
