James brought up site moderation philosophy in a comment (“Regarding Manifest and controversial attendees, we kept the same ethos as a our site, where anyone can create markets.”). I responded by asking how that jived with plausible business models for the company. So it’s a discussion about an issue first raised in the comments. I do think it’s of some relevance to a broader question hinted at in your post: whether the founders’ prior ideological commitments are causing them to make suboptimal business decisions.
