Behold, a website that exclusively dunks on HackerNews comments: http://n-gate.com/hackernews/
And yeah, the commenters are literally capitalists, many of them spawned from the Y Combinator parent company, so they all have vested interests in maintaining a certain narrative within the comments section. There are some good insider scoops from within companies in the comments sometimes, but you'll be banned for 'civility' reasons if you try and rock the boat.
Yep it kills me to go there now. I am a huge lisp nerd so I was on from day one as graham is a lisp god. For a long time I could ignore the capitalist rhetoric or even squint and imagine some of these startup types could potentially be radicalized to try alternative remunerative structures etc. but the reality is the technical talk has died off and the echoes of the eternal now are all that remains. Where are my leftist lisp nerds at?

kinda.
It's aggressively and arbitrarily moderated to enforce a very soft right wing viewpoint, particularly on economics.
But you still get plenty of rational fascism bullshit.
oh god haha i've never seen that site before. Who runs that? The About page is trolling.
