    Surprisingly, increasing user hostility is a filter of users' tech savviness and IQ. I doubt most HN dwellers will tolerate price increases or ads or anything like that. They can pirate shit, and they can block ads. They're better off compared to the rest of the population who is not tech-savvy enough or smart enough to bypass these user-hostilities. These companies basically extract revenue out of people who are relatively poor.

      Someone should spend money on a marketing campaign teaching people how to be tech literate (while skirting the law, and making implications).

      Someone like Nathan Fielder would have the balls for this.
