It’s always funny to me to read some of the posts and comments on HN. A lot of (most?) HNers are working to silo off and rent seek. Yet we see posts about how we lost software freedom here.

Rent seeking is trying to capture value without creating any. Most startups are trying to capture value after creating some, IMO.
If you're tracking engaged users [or even growth of revenue and churn from individuals], you're probably not on a path towards rent seeking.
