You lost me when you started talking about seeking money and what sells an idea to VCs, not value creation. If your goal is the money and not the product, ypu've already lost.

Depends their goal, the current VC landscape isn’t really value focused, unfortunately

vibeaccounting explained by llm and posted to vibecoded page which leverages claude-authored horrendous page scroll hijack, no thanks.

to add insult to injury: "author" learned nothing, and there's nothing to learn.

I get what you are trying to say, but that is obviously not the case in reality.

We are on HN, which is hosted by YC. Their entire business model is grooming would be C-Suites to tailor their products to appeal to potential VC's.

Sadly they never do, UI just gets worse and worse. Even before LLMs became as prevalent, and even after. ;)

I take a small bit of joy in disabling JS for these sites. The content still loads just fine. The scroll jacking degraded quality for no reason.

Why would anyone who actually wants me to read their site do this?

This site scrolls at a snail's pace.

What OS/browser are you using? I'm using Chrome on Windows and it scrolls normally.

I'm using chrome on windows (using mouse scroll wheel), that page is super slow with an annoying easing function.

I'm using the scroll wheel as well (Logitech Anywhere MX) and it seems like it scrolls like any other site. If I spin the wheel it zips to the bottom of the page in under a second.
