I hate seeing things like this. As an entrepreneur it's frustrating that I've built a business, in a growing space, $300k ARR, consistent growth, a few employees, no debt and a well defined path to 10x growth that's not built on any (bulshit) models that VC seems to love. And for some reason it's very hard to find funding that's not from Wall Street guys (who love models that earn). Hey VCs! I can burn less of your m…

Question: now that the Google workaround no longer works for WSJ links, are they even allowed on HN? @dang has implied that paywalled articles without workarounds aren't allowed.
Earlier quoted context omitted.
Yes you do know #2 when you start. If I'm working on a cure for (name your sickness) you know there is a market. You're doing it wrong if you don't know #2 when you start. Don't be a solution looking for problem/market see: Is Your Product a 'Vitamin' or 'Painkiller?' https://www.entrepreneur.com/article/230736
Many startups haven't figured out monetization at the beginning, that's why they search for Product Market Fit. If you do MVPs properly, you won't have burned much money on the way.
like, here are some people that showed interest in this feature, lets build it, and after you build it you see that you simply did not have enough data. like in A/B test if you stop it to early an you get some screwed data.
we had some external company do a FB ads for our company, and indeed we did get a loot of new signups, but after examination we saw that all those signups where garbage.

Use this bookmarklet someone posted in HN a few days ago: javascript:window.location=" https://m.facebook.com/l.php?u="+encodeURIComponent(window.l... ;
But 99% of HN users are not going to see this and the whole reason the "web" link exists is to aid in the Google workaround, because that was the gold standard until now. WSJ has now put itself into a special class of sites. Unless I post my link on every single WSJ story submitted to HN, non-subscribers (the vast majority of people seeing it here) won't be able to read it, which means they can't discuss it etc. Therefore it would make sense to me that WSJ links should be blocked here.
