The only ones against free speech these days are the far/weird-left. They have some twisted logic about not tolerating intolerant (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paradox_of_tolerance). They are very selective whom they see as worth not tolerating.
Two years ago I applied to YC, and was turned down in the interview process. They asked, "how is PrintFriendly going to make a billion dollars"? I'm still trying to answer that (or at least a more modest version of the question).
Today PrintFriendly revenue is about $10k/mo, 1.2M visits/mo, and slow but steady growth.
I'm happy with the results, delighted actually. However, I'm not travelling the world, or working from a beach. I work hard everyday and reinveste the capital, to try and build a stable/strong/significant organization.
Sweet. I've used iconfinder.com over the years. Its now a default stop when searching an icon. Seems to be getting better everytime i visit too. Keep up the good work!
My motivations were fairly pure, wanted to build a platform that gave citizens more power. Also thought there could be a way to monetize (ethically) with traction.
Got some press in the early days, and believe the problem is other than exposure. The site just isn't filling a need. Need to come up with something people really want.
