It’s free. It doesn’t have ads. It’s a dream of the early tech utopians. Why is it the only surviving dream of that kind that has persisted?&lt;p&gt;&amp;gt;WALES: Well, it’s an interesting thing, and I’m not sure it’s the only, but it’s certainly the most famous and the largest.&lt;p&gt;Can HN think of any other examples? Funny enough I immediately thought of HN itself, although it does have some ads and I&amp;#x27;m not sure it qualifies as big enough for what Cowen had in mind.</text></comment>
