2 months ago, HN was ripping apart IH:

But at HN, it seems we have short memories and money triumphs morality.

The thread you link to is about a story which was published on IH. Sure, publishing this story wasn't a highlight for IH, but starting two swing the morality hammer is a bit much.

read it again, they were ripping IH for letting dubious submissions through without proper vetting.

2017 Feb: "I'm never using IH again"

2017 April: "I love IH"

It's almost as if HN is made of a community of different people with different personalities and motivations.

I was one of those who was ripping into the specific IH submission. I did so because the quality of IH is usually so high and I wanted to see that continue. This one example fell short.

I am very happy for Courtland and hope IH keeps it up! Congratulations!
