Atleast around 1B$, because it is a prime discussion place for tinkerers. It makes sense to be valued at around 2 cents worth compared to what twitter was

- uberman 10mo agoI have to disagree. In my opinion, there is no real way to monetize this in a way that the community would embrace. You might run ads or email campaigns for a year but I imagine most users would just go someplace newer or better. No way to monetize ultimately means no value.
- Guestmodinfo 10mo agoThere's nothing to be gained from selling the services of HN to you and me i.e. the general public but a buyer who can buy HN for 1B$ could set some fine tuning in place that suits their interest without changing the site as much. Like someone fine tune HN as an engagement metric among the HN for various product designs. It's a media outlet, those controlling it can have better use suiting their purposes, they don't have to sell it like film tickets to make money out of it
- uberman 10mo agoTwitter has about 40k times the daily activity of HN. If we assume Twitter has a value of 40b that would make hn valued at 1m which I think is still way way over valued imho.
