This is properly the best example of why hn needs tags. You think you are going to read an interesting article on food and culture and maybe learn a valuable lesson, when in reality you get a piece of whyning crap delivered by a marketeer.
I agree HN needs tags but still think this was an interesting post. While the analogy could have been more thoughtfully constructed, I think the topic is very relevant right now for startup business models (ad-supported versus paid).
