On HN, what happens when people point out "this is a con?" Downvotes, flags, warnings from the moderator, and (last but most) absurdist pushback from other commenters.

At the time, lots of people said something at the time. Later on, yeah, "nobody said anything at the time."




This Onion headline says it best:

Anyone that's in crypto still is asking to loose it all. I don't know why, maybe it's getting their jimmies rustled, but I know that all the signs have been blaring for years now.


There's no way anybody could have known!


The VCs blew it in their diligence. They should have known


This would be more convincing if you could cite an article/comment along the lines of "SBF is gambling with depositors cash".

There is plenty of crypto is a scam that get upvoted, and piled on by the crypto is a scam crowd. Its almost a meme on hn at this point to get upvotes just write "crypto is a scam"
