I'm not trolling. My basic point was that people in SV make orders of magnitude more money than the average person. But if we want to be pedantic, you don't know X so you can't refute.

If OP wants to say I don't know what exponents are, that's on them. The whole thing stands.

@macmcirish fair enough, I meant in context to the reply.

Folk can be pedantic about numbers and take the mick out the average intellect of the average HN user I suppose. I'm not on the spectrum so not especially retentive to those minor points.

The main point was that a lot of these employees were on very large sums of money, and in control of the information flow across the web. It's a centralised platform. Anyways, doubt it's worth making the point any more.

Your last comment literally says you were “trolling a bit”.

I don’t think you’re having this conversation in good faith and I’m going to stop interacting because of it.
