>the concentration of wealth

On this topic, I'm curious what others think of the renaming of this post:

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=44435732

The original title I gave was: "Paul Graham: without billionaires, there will be no startups."

As it was a tweet, I was trying to summarize his conclusive point in the first part of the sentence:

Few of them realize it, but people who say "I don’t think that we should have billionaires" are also saying "I don't think there should be startups,"

Now, this part of the sentence to me was the far more interesting part because it was a much bolder claim than the second part of the sentence:

because successful startups inevitably produce billionaires.

This second part seems like a pretty obvious observation and is a completely uninteresting observation by itself.

The claim that successful startups have produced billonaires therefore successful startups require billionaires is a far more contentious and interesting claim.

The mods removed "paul graham" from the title and switched the title to the uninteresting second part of the sentence, turning it into a completely banal and pointless title: Successful startups produce billionaires. Thereby removing any hint of the bold claim being made by the founder of one of the most succesful VCs of the 21st century. And incidentally, also the creator of this website.

I can only conclude someone is loathe to moderate a thread about whether billionaires are neccessary for sucessful startups to exist.

ps. There is no explicit guideline for tweets as far as I can tell. You are forced to use an incomplete quote or are forced to summarize the tweet im some fashion.
