This is fine. The internet is going to be filled with bots anyway so might as well restrict it to this age group. They should be outdoors with no access to the internet. Why not extend this to under 2…

I don't see any reason to be depressed? Maybe stop watching and avoid the news?

Then pay for the content to get access?

Good. However, RSS doesn't make money for journalists and reader view just bypasses paid content. How does this support the works of writers? In my view they will just turn off RSS (Which is bein…

And AI will just shut out people just starting their careers Too bad I guess.

Monetization means enshittification.

Not a meme, but since there is no monetization strategy it is less likely going to be a 10x exit.

So no monetization strategy that doesn't warrant 10x returns?

Even worse. So how is Tangled investable at all to deliver a 10x return to the investors that funded it?

And so the enshittification begins for Tangled. As soon as you take money from VCs and Angels, the implication now is an exit and a duty to deliver investor updates to keep them up to date on their RO…

You said "The companies you want to invest in don't want your money." Your words, you should own them. I only want more smart people I know to have the chance to be angel investors in t…

ok? I and may other angel investors are proof you're obviously wrong so...

> This is obviously not true. Most wealthy people do not build their wealth by gambling on meme stocks and tech companies. That's an extraordinarily Twitter-blinkered thing to believe. I never…

So why are you projecting "The companies you want to invest in don't want your money." when this is obviously not true at all. I don't know which companies you tried to invest in (…

> You keep talking about accreditation. The companies you want to invest in don't want your money and they don't care that you're accredited. You don't know that 100% and unfort…

I love this projection you're providing to me, how much money did you lose on these companies? I am in and have invested in YC startups, because I know which ones have growth potential and upside…

There is no other way for that group of retail investors to build wealth other than go into these highly and extremely risky assets that you and I hate and do not recommend. (even more risky than seco…

Why do you think that is?

Even worse. This means that no wealth will be created for people who actually want to invest. With Stripe's non IPO example, many will follow and will stay private. So more gatekeeping.

Why don't we extend this to the risky public manipulated stock market?

"Private markets is where the wealth is (if you invested at the bottom)" Stripe might not need your money now, but they certainly needed it at the pre-seed, seed stage where if you were an…

So someone who inherits $100 million (11 year old or not) doesn't have take the exam, but someone who knows about the industry inside out has take an exam to participate? Seems "fair" t…

Private markets is where the wealth is (if you invested at the bottom), as soon as Stripe goes public you're getting dumped on. Unfortunately you need to be an accredited investor to access these…

This is actually very cool and predates vibe coding, please stop gatekeeping.

I point to this resource to my friends and family when they want to get stuff for free. A great resource as an alternative to hostile and expensive subscription based "services" that shouldn…

*Coding (Web Apps) is solved Fixed it for you.

Agreed, I would like to see others, being promoted to the top rather than Simon’s constant shilling for backlinks to his blog every time an AI topic is on the front page.
