Not sure where your assumptions about HN are coming from but there's plenty of us around here who don't know the dynamics of being a shareholder simply because we are almost always at the bottom of the food chain.

Or do you think HN is an exclusive forum for actual business owners and shareholders?

You have 5k karma and have never noticed moderation here being a little bit trigger happy with the downvotes? Or is there something else you would like me to understand?

I don't think HN is exclusively business owners and shareholders, but I do believe that there is a lot more of it here than in hacker culture in general. I'd like to own a business myself one day, but I'm not sure I can extend myself to the ruthlessness required to survive as one.

We're in full agreement on the businesses + ruthlessness part. And yep, this place isn't just about hacker culture for a while now, that is true.
