I'm a little confused where you're trying to go with this comment. I develop and maintain a service that has been used by millions of people. I make less net profit than a part-tim…

It only generates about 15k a year in ad revenue. It's fairly low revenue because: 1. Users are spread around the world. This isn't a site with 70% US visitors. 2. The majority of …

My site has about 30k active registered users a day. The vast majority are long term members that have been on the site for years, so they're quite dedicated to the service. Even s…

Nope, it doesn't offer any downloads, or questionable content. The site has strict guidelines against any comments even mentioning piracy. The DMCA notices from Google direct me to…

I have a forum that receives a high number of DMCA claims. They link to pages on my forum where they claim I'm violating their copyright. However, when I review the pages, the cont…

I think you're right here. I'm forgetting about "entertainment". This will never replace my visits to HN because it's not efficient. Unless it uses neurolink to beam the informatio…

Lots of positive feedback here, but after a quick listen, I'm not a fan. To summarize my thoughts... 1. The experience just feels too sluggish. For example, I opened the HN homepag…

I have no problem with anyone plugging their business. I assume the entire purpose of a small project like this one is to generate leads. I just find it disappointing that it's one…

Why does a one page static site that is a few paragraphs of text use 9.3MB of resources (4MB compressed)? Why is the tiny logo in the corner 1MB? It's absurd, especially when you s…

When it's a crescent shape, it's also more crisp in one direction. So if you hold up a square and make a shadow on the ground, two sides are sharp, two sides are blurry. Or if you …

When a service is being redesigned, I hope improvements to the functionality is what's leading those changes. Causing confusion without any benefits beyond a "more modern look" isn…

If any visual adaptation results in substantial user confusion, then why roll out this update which they say is "strictly a change in visual appearance"? If they're going to cause …

> Be excited! The tens of thousands of people working in entertainment building other people's visions can now be their own writers, actors, and directors. And they'll find their o…

I understand growing rapidly, especially for a social network, where you need to quickly reach a certain amount of user content per day to provide value. If you can't get to that p…

Changing the zoom level will typically show these missing results. For example, I just checked my neighborhood. There are 5 restaurants within a few hundred feet of each other rate…

In a different universe, I think the idea could be a valid attempt at dethroning Google. However, after seeing the changes to Reddit the past decade in our current universe, I woul…

Reddit should have leveraged their content to compete with Google. 1. Improve old.reddit.com instead of creating this terrible Reddit v2 that encourages replacing real content with…

Google Maps is terrible for hiding results. I'll use the filter to show restaurants with a 4.5+ star rating, and it hides dozens of places 4.5+ stars while instead showing results …

I think this causes further problems as well. These big companies know they can easily be listed at the top of Google, and therefore they pump out low quality articles for every po…

You might want to check community centres. They typically have all sorts of short term classes and activities taking place. They involve lots of new people in the neighborhood, inc…

> The question is how many of those users will move to Reddit's official app after June 30, and how many will look for alternative platforms that aren't so manipulative and abusive…

> His whole point is that the app isn’t actually worth $20 million a year, which is what they want him to pay. It’s not even worth $10 million. Not to him or Reddit or anyone else.…

I remember I stumbled on a StackOverflow question about my API. I wrote a comment to tell the user a part of the API they were using was being depreciated, and they should change o…

> First off, it's abundantly clear that the Apollo dev wasn't actually demanding money. It was a pointed statement that revealed the CEO wasn't being honest about the costs. I disa…

It's not a deal though. Reddit says the users are worth $20 million in lost advertising. So either Apollo pays the money, the users move to another app that pays, or the users retu…
