So you can't moderate HN if it gets big?


I'd say that if HN got as big as YouTube or Facebook, then no, it shouldn't be moderated against wrongthink.


Let's say someone starts a video site where users post vegan recipes. It's a vegan video site. People create an account and can post what they want. Some users post barbecue videos, video on how to skin game, and the site owners remove these videos. If somehow a high percentage of society become vegan and this site blows up, becomes the biggest recipe site in the world, a quasi-monopoly of recipe videos. Do they now have to allow meat videos?
