Hmm. I was curious and started looking for the comments you mention, and was pleasantly surprised to find zero pg hate comments, downvoted or otherwise. People seem pretty on board with billionaires solving problems for disabled people in exchange for mutual upside.
I used to be bothered by those kinds of sentiments too, by the way. The way I got over it was to realize how many people are just bitter, and not because of pg or YC. This is different than having an actual issue with pg or YC — it’s random noise rather than points worth listening to.
Weirder than the haters are the people who reply to his tweets. Some of them post bizarre things. I find it fascinating when people project their own feelings on him, whether it’s hate, admiration, or (my favorite, having been a victim of it myself) misplaced ambition.
