FYI, the definition of small business in the US is fewer than 500 employees.

You think "most people" save at least $75k a year?

But why would they make the product shittier and not just more expensive? A lot of the complaints have been the model getting lost and going rogue.

For anyone who thinks there is flawed logic in this I encourage you to study JC Penney's pricing strategy failure. People, by and large, are not rational.

I've talked about this on here before, but we think the solution is an auth layer built on top of credit score through an intermediary like creditkarma. The score itself doesn't really matter but it does solve big problems.

Plus, if you wanted to implement a filtering system for users, I personally would rather trust reviews / comments from credit scores over 650, they have less incentive to be astroturfing.

But yes, I think your conclusion is correct. This is the only way.

I have a set of very expensive hand made japanese irons (golf clubs). I assure you I did not buy them from social influence or clout. In fact, nobody ever really sees them except me. I bought them because the craftsmanship and how truly beautiful they are. They make me smile.

Two of the fastest growing YC companies are crypto companies built on solana, Kalshi and Axiom. I'm pretty sure Axiom was the fastest to $100m in revenue, ever.

New comment by chasebank in "Ask HN: Is it time for HN to implement a form of captcha?"

chasebank — Fri, 09 Jan 2026 16:10:27 +0000

I wasn't suggesting that people wouldn't be allowed to participate without a score, (which I think everyone has a score regardless of no debt?). I was suggesting that login / auth takes place by credit score verification. This would solve a couple problems. First, and most important, we know it's a real person commenting / participating. Second, systems could be designed to filter by score. For instance, if I'm researching products on reddit, I'd sure love to know A. it's a real person, and B. to filter by some score threshold. I'd wager people with higher scores have less incentive to get paid to shill some product online.

Anyways, from the little research I've done, it's certainly illegal and not a proper mechanism for authentication. One can dream though :)

Pick your poison, I suppose. All I know what we have now is a race to the bottom. Reviews, comments, dating sites, all a giant fabrication.

We've always wanted to build a service which provides authentication through credit score verification. Whether its applied to dating apps, product review sites, HN. I'd sure love to filter by 650+ only. I'm certain it's illegal but it sure would help.

how do you test for allergens? i did 5 years of immunotherapy shots, twice weekly at a doctors office and i had to stay 30 minutes after each shot for the anaphylaxis risk. it worked quite well but it was really inconvenient.

Africans and Indians are not minorities. Sure, if they live in the US, but I'm pretty sure OP referring to people in other countries.
