This has been, without a close second, the funniest thread I’ve ever seen on this website. The poster that started this whole thread cited the rules after telling me to fuck off

Following the guidelines, I edited out a swipe. Multiple people have been honest about how awful you're being, but maybe you need a moderator to step in and give you tips on how to have a mature discussion? This conversation started with you butting into another conversation I am having with another user, that user also having butt into a conversation I was having with yet another user. Your posts cannot be more off-…
You asked for feedback on a downvoted post, I gave it, and then you told me to fuck off. I’m not sure what outcome you wanted here, but there isn’t really any amount of attacking me that will make other people agree that seeing “leather pan handle covers” and posting 200 words about how your conscience wouldn’t allow you to be involved in the leather pan handle cover business isn’t shaming. It’s a factually correct r…

I asked OP a question, they calmly answered it, and the conversation was over.
Meanwhile, you and this other user have done nothing but the equivalent of throwing a tantrum in a public place, making insensitive insinuations that blew right back in your face, attempting to derail the conversation, and doubling down instead of treating this as a learning moment. I hate to break it to you, but this is wildly off-topic and the conversation never had anything to do with you.

Thank you for sharing your perspective. I do agree that we don't need to extremify asceticism. I certainly own useless crap. I think I do specifically have a minimalist approach to kitchens inspired by setups such as hundred rabbits' https://100r.co/site/cooking.html plus I also am becoming increasingly concerned with my carbon footprint given the climate-related extinction event we are currently facing, and that pro…
Not as much about the economics of the business as my work on using AI to automate it, but I do have a Substack: https://theautomatedoperator.substack.com/
Thank you, I appreciate the response. I'll check it out!

I'm still not certain if it's intentional trolling, or high levels of lacking self-awareness and a lack of imagination in parsing their own sentence.

This works for the subset of people who have a good story or a real connection to their brand, but that's just not most businesses. I buy and operate e-commerce brands, and I can't do it both because I really don't want to be on camera and because "hey I bought this company that sells leather handle covers for cast iron pans, and I personally don't use them but the cashflow was good" is not so compelling as a message…

Please avoid generic tangents on HN. This turned into an awful flamewar, which is what happens when people introduce tangentially-relevant-but-inflammaory topics into a discussion. Please have a read of the guidelines and make an effort to observe them in future. https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html.
