- evdawg 18y agoBecause TechCrunch is in bed with YCombinator, of course ;) http://uncov.com/ycombinator-techcrunch-butthappy http://uncov.com/ycombinator-techcrunch-butthappy (Yes, this is a joke)
- fauigerzigerk 18y agoTechcrunch is indeed pretty nasty sometimes, and I have criticised them here before, but it would be utterly ridiculous if hacker news, a news site for startups, banned one of the preeminent startup blogs. Techcrunch is influential and as such it is relevant for many people here. You can ban a site that is nasty and irrelevant, but you cannot ban a very relevant site just because some articles are odious. Banning should not be about morals, but rather about usefulness.
- bliving 18y agoNoisy != useful Moralistic != useful But your mileage may vary.
