08/GB[2]I think we are finally witnessing bandwidth becoming a race-to-0 for big cloud providers and I love it (I know there have been prediction-papers here on HN before about how it will eventually become free or near-free, it is just interesting to see the different ways we can get there)

I am not someone who wants HN to change in any great way (a bit more towards the quality, but nothing seismic), but that's precisely my concern when behaviour I have never noticed before I now notice frequently enough for me to comment publicly on it (and risk whatever social penalty comes from questioning something people love)

Is this some type of divide between purely making money at YC (which can be dirty, immoral, bordering on criminal etc) and the tech community of HN who are generally against that sort of thing?I mean it's not only crypto; it's dark patterns, privacy invasion etc; HN is generally against that, but probably many YC companies would be dead without them
