"Trump Adviser" = David Sacks




Dang told me in 2019 that HN gets 150M page views a month, so it's not that obscure actually:

150m page views a month is peanuts and very far away from the "social" networks numbers. I don't have those numbers, but I know how many page views we had 2011 while running a german browser game community.

The internet seems to have grown massively within the past couple years (unfortunately, almost certainly because of bots). I bet the number today is orders of magnitude higher.

I would bet money that HN's traffic is not orders of magnitude higher than 2020. HN is not as popular as HNers think it is.

We don't disagree. The extra traffic is almost if not entirely bots (especially scrapers)

Quote from his message to Norway's PM:
