Just be a little careful, or the OnlyFans people might hear there's a new "social" where they can promote.
(For example: LLM-assisted forum presence, combined with profiles with oh, hey there, I have an OF, lol, combined with tech industry disposable incomes... I'd guess would pick up a couple new whales worth the effort. Now that Reddit presumably has been picked clean.)
Around here I think you’d have better luck selling tiny cute looking computers with tiny screens and open source hardware.
Tastes around here definitely vary. I prefer curvy monitors with big CPUs.
Does your curvy monitor support touch?
It also has 4 ports
Man oh man, do I have the CRT for you!
Uh ... do you have a link for this? Just (mostly) joking...

One of their projects, TinyTV, previously on HN:

and cooling systems.

Any OF models would be met with HN users over-explaining their own economics to them and how it's a terrible business that'll never work. These models will also learn they don't even have a moat to differentiate themselves from other offerings and should keep their development jobs. :)
I can see both groups working with models and curves
Just different types

This is a punny comment
I don't think people discovering these profiles on HN is the concern here.
The true problem with OF models is due to an iterated mutual tit-for-tat strategy between OF models and popular groups on social media platforms:
1. OF models (or people acting on their behalf) want to promote themselves using popular groups/pages/channels on social-networks — they spam posts to these places, seeming to be authentic engagement, in ways that get people curious to look at their profile; and where their profile on the social network then directs those people to their OF profile.
2. The popular groups/pages/channels on social networks are inundated by spam from these OF models, and so attempt to use automated measures to detect and block posts from posters who link to OF on their profiles.
3. OF models/their agents try to work around this by indirecting their OF profile behind "make an About You page with links" services like carrd.co.
4. The popular SN groups respond by also blocking profiles containing links to these "About You page" services (because, keep in mind, the SN profile already works as an "About You page", so there's no need to link to one of these, when you could just past in the contents from it instead. The only people who link to these pages from SN profiles are OF models.)
5. And OF models/their agents try to work around this, by finding ever-more-obscure "About You page" services, and/or profile pages on other social-media services, to get ahead of the moderation.
This at.hn service looks great, but it would sadly be exactly the kind of service referenced in step 5.
I think the median HN user is a lot healthier than you suggest.
Aella already has a stranglehold on the HN demographic.
Nothing stops people from doing that in their profiles now... and it's not like this is even an official hn feature, so either way they're linking to an external site.
HN has better moderation than any other site I'm aware of, I trust it to be robust against that kind of spam.
