You are helping enrich someone who is sympathetic towards it. It's funny how you are immediately trying to disassociate yourself from the simple fact that you -> hacker news -> pg -> musk.
There are people who don't use Twitter for the simple reason that Musk owns it. You can do the same with HN, no?
So first of all, no I'm not. And second of all, "helping enrich someone who is sympathetic towards it" and "helping to get a law passed" are not the same thing.

I have never made this claim.
And yes, Hacker News is literally a marketing site for Y Combinator, of which pg has a stake.
In any case I've already ascertained your level of conviction so we can let it go. At least redditors had enough to leave reddit over simple API changes.
You're telling me that I'm inconsistent in my views because I think Eich deserves blame for what happened when he helped enact a bad law, but I don't stop posting to HN. That implies these two activities are comparable. If you never made that claim then what the hell is the point of your comments? You're just making shit up and holding me to a standard I never expressed. It's completely pointless and stupid.
I am saying that this site's cofounder is sympathetic to DOGE, which is not treating people well.
Either you disagree with that view, in which case you should stop supporting this site with your participation, or you agree, and you can continue to post.
Of course you can make whatever excuse you'd like to explain how just because you're here doesn't mean you're aligned with pg.
