You can still do forums and so forth for those things, but discoverability isn&amp;#x27;t nearly as good. It&amp;#x27;s been co-opted by venture capital and is becoming less so, but right now it&amp;#x27;s a great community unmatched elsewhere on the internet in it&amp;#x27;s scale and quality.</text></comment>

Hacker News users are even more of a minority than Redditors.</text></comment>
