Nugget only got 14 points on HN but 350+ points on product hunt... As to final success we're still working on it.

The difference in taste between HN and PH was on display in the thread about the AngelList's acquisition of PH. I found it really bizarre. A gathering of people who build stuff just completely deriding something built by a small team for reasons I couldn't make heads or tails of.

1 / The perception that PH isn't doing anything 'hard', tech wise.

2 / The perception that PH was created to capture value and act as a promotional vehicle for a narrow SV elite, rather than creating anything new.

Yeah, that's a fairly succinct summary. I suppose I put some effort into having a positive-by-default outlook on stuff others have created. I don't think those descriptions of PH are _bad_ things and even if they were bad, then I would assume that it became bad only by mistake not out of intention.
