> what the world needs

For HN its really 1) What are investors willing to contribute to or 2) What are customers willing to pay for.

You're answering the question of "what the world values" not "what the world needs".

Exactly for HN, startups and SV it doesnt matter what the world needs. I mean for marketing purposes it does, but not for the game we play here.

You can interpret the words of 'sama as an invitation to play a different game.
