How exactly would a website like reddit monetize itself without ads? Donations?
Or for that matter, how would HackerNews itself exist (without a YC parent) if getting users to subscribe was not an option?
- modzoo 12y agobut my point is that hackernews does survive. its not a pipedream
- bruceb 12y agoHN survives because it is a tool to recruit high quality people/teams to YC. There have been articles saying YC is worth $1billion so running HN with no revenue is worth it. Saying all sites can follow this model is not feasible.
