| It’s a VC backed forum, there’s a bias towards a population that looks down on the poor and fetishizes wealth. It’s not everyone or even a majority but because of the VC backing it’s going to be more than the general population |

| Are you suggesting that hn is removing comment's/post's that don't look down on the poor or fetishize wealth? I'm not sure how hn being vc backed has any influence on how I or anyone else here comments |
