    I challenge the notion that there can be any net-positive effect from deliberately misleading the public and insulting people's intelligence. As word spreads that people are being actively deceived, overall trust in the system is erode

    Is the visitor's IP address still recorded in a web server access log? If so, does that need consent? I'm genuinely asking. I'm not a GDPR expert.

    > 1280 Companies[1] — 1 IPO > Kingmakers... hardly. An IPO is not the only measure of success. Some successful YC companies are opting to remain private longer e.g. AirBnB, Coinbase and some have been acquired e.g. Heroku, Reddit.
