HN “exploits” its community by building the street cred of Y Co and also being a venue Y Co startups can advertise for help. It doesn’t bother me or I wouldn’t be here but a certain person could say it is some rich white (and asian) dudes benefitting from it all.

As a “hacker” I feel open access to the data is “fair” but I think much less technical person might not care if he surplus is reaped by anyone with a webcrawler or by Reddit’s administration.
