Lol. I just realized that the [scribd] tag was a separate link, and not a warning that the entire link was to scribd. I guess not everyone hates scribd as much

- nkurz 17y agoI've had the same experience, and had been avoiding such links as well. Regarding your 'hate', though, it may be worth noting that Scribd is a Ycombinator company.
- Zak 17y agoAre you suggesting that people should not express dislike of YC-funded companies here? I don't think we really want to encourage the creation of taboos like than here.
- nkurz 17y agoNo, I was suggesting the presence of links to Scribd may not be intended solely a convenience to the current HN audience. I do think there is some self-suppression occurring regarding YC companies, though. This is a good thing if it encourages more thought as to phrasing, and a bad thing if it creates a taboo.
