Ask HN: If HN were a startup what would its valuation be?

1 points by AbstractH24 ↗ HN
In light of Reddit's upcoming IPO I started to wonder.

(although maybe I shouldn't give Sam any ideas)

Zero because techies don't pay for shit. That's why they're rich.
Let's see:

- Millions of monthly unique users [1]

- Super Addictive product, multiple visits per day [1] (if you're anything like me)

- No revenue to speak of

Valuation - probably $500M+, because nothing in VC valuation land makes any sense ;)
