You'd rather an ad-network, or you just expect people to share, give, and benefit you for free, or...is there another option? Kudos to the author for providing value and getting compensated.

One blog post is not enough to warrant a request for money. How do you know they are even telling the truth?

Maybe click their profile and see 27k karma and them in the top HN user list? Don't pay if you don't know who they are or care. Just because you don't know someone doesn't mean others don't.

DoreenMichele is pretty well known around these parts. if she's running a hoax, it's an elaborate one.

Did I just get downvoted? What for?

Please don't break the site guidelines: https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html Corrective upvotes are a thing: https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&que...

For me purple and yellow is pretty hard to look at.

Hi Doreen, Happy to see your new effort! Have you ever communicated with Johnny Sanfelippo (https://granolashotgun.com). You two have a similar voice and some overlap in perspective. I suspect you’d find his work interesting (if you haven’t already).

Cheers!

Dang, this is irrelevant to the topic but I needed to ask it. Are you an individual or several 'users/employees/maintainers' using the same username? Your omnipresent has always been intriguing to me

It is one guy. He is full-time employed by YC to maintain HN.

I believe Dang is Daniel. There was an interesting New Yorker article about HN's moderation a while back you might enjoy: http://archive.is/QiDtu.

I was amused to learn that he's "Dan G" and not "dang!", too. I still think of him as "dang!", though.

I also really appreciate the thankless job he does here. Thanks, Dan! (Does that mean it's not thankless now... Should I edit this comment? Arrghh!)

When I see about half my paycheck going to taxes it feels a bit rough.

But then I think of stories like this, and how easily it could have been me with an illness requiring expensive medical treatment and possibly preventing me from working regular jobs.

And so I pay my tax with pleasure, knowing that if something were to happen to me or my fellow citizen, at least there wouldn't be millions of dollars in hospital bills to pay back and there would be aid for a home to avoid ending up on the streets.
