On: Welcome Home, Garry Tan

Can you elaborate? I'm seeing a lot of positive things said about him here so contrarian viewpoints make me genuinely curious.

working to advance surveillance state, pro-cop activism and political action, shilling crypto pump and dumps, gig economy, etc

good returns for investors on a lot of the above hence the interest and respect from business community. simple as that, accumulated dollars talk. someone can be a ghoul and a charlatan and still be pleasant, friendly, helpful on a personal level to many.

Thanks for the info, I’ll go read up on him some more to see what I can find. If any of this is true, he sounds like an odd choice for the CEO of YC.

He'll fit right in

Yes, you’re on HN. You’re going to be seeing mostly positive things said about him from this user base.

As for elaboration - I can only implore you to go look at the history of his actions.

I’m aware of the website I’m using. You’re also here but are saying negative things and declining to provide more detail to back your position. I don’t have a dog in this fight and haven’t even heard of Garry until today, but since you had such a strong negative opinion of him I thought you might be able to tell us why.
