Time has proved that notion right

Which timeline do you have in mind? I look at HN pretty often and it's almost entirely a forum of not-finance full of posts and comments on not-finance topics. A simpler and more plausible theory is that HN has many nerds whose views you disagree with.

As someone who has always considered themselves to have a hacker mindset, I have always noticed that there is a lack of critical thinking by HN commenters which is replaced by advanced regurgitated knowledge. Akin to sounding smart but actually dumb.

Sure but that's still 'I don't like these nerds'. It doesn't make HN a 'finance forum'.

/g/ talks about more technology than HN does. You might not like those nerds either, but they aren't muzzled by VCs.

What is /g/? Who is being muzzled? HN is a finance forum but then VC muzzle it? This is pretty hard to follow, sorry.

You know what? Don't even bother, I think this discussion has said enough for itself at this point.

Yes. You said it was a finance forum and that seems to have been inaccurate.
