Not that I can see. I think most on HN root for the underdog.

Next up: HackernewsRoulette

Roulette to find all those vibe coded apps with zero users, sounds great!

Great idea. One of my saddest projects was making a site to help Twitch streamers get sponsorship for playing games. You automatically got picked if your view count was high enough. I saw thousands of people streaming on Twitch by themselves for weeks with no viewers whatsoever. Surely many of them had families and partners, but I'm also sure many did not.

It can also be a way yo practise or find like minded

What does having a family have to do with anything? I see many people with different hobbies that aren't "successful", do you also think if they have families or not? I don't even get the implications, presumably it'd be worse to stream all day if you have a family you're neglecting, but even that is making wild assumptions.

If you have a family, why would you be screaming into the void while playing video games? Go spend time with your family, where there's endless company and good to be done.

Oh my god I love this. I tell every one I load up how terrible they are and to give up now. I think I’ve discouraged about 250 so far!! What a wonderful project.

No, stop, you're misusing it. The purpose of this site is to build parasocial relationships with strangers online.

Maybe I'm naive, but my sense is not everyone streaming on Twitch is trying to make a career out of it. Even for those that are -- everyone starts somewhere. Hopefully those that aren't successful on first brush notice and realize that it takes more than simply starting a stream to build a sticky audience. Also, there are many people out there who lead fulfilling lives without families and partners. Either way, I don…

why would you stream on Twitch then? just because it‘s „fun“? come on

i am actually even more impressed that you got this to front page

did I do something wrong or something

what? no, i love projects like these. but re-reading my comment, it does sound a little messed =p. what i meant was it gave me old HN vibes, back when weird, fun projects popped off instead of everything being AI-wrapped.
