Not OP, but I think the answer is that a lot of people who quit Reddit a couple weeks ago have spread out to other news/discussion forums to find something to replace it. They're still in the exploration phase trying to find communities that resemble subreddits they used. The content on this forum sort of resembles a few tech related subreddits, even if the discussions and intent are quite different.

I suppose the community makes the purpose of the community. And this sort of thing makes me worse, so I should seek something else, or modify my interaction with this community.

It's an open forum and presumably those running it prefer this outcome.

Fair enough.

It may be a VC forum, but it functions as a broad technical forum. How many posts here are explicitly about startup economics?

It's important to remind people in the broader technical community that financial success should not the only goal, nor should it be required to maximize profit at the expense of customers.

Fair enough. It's not you, it's me. I'll just not interact with these comments in future. I have a mechanism to fix this.
