Interesting. I wonder what they paid. How can that be possible? DN is relatively small.LayerVault raised money from venture capitalists, so Designer News never had to stand on its own as a business. In fact, it costs thousands of dollars per month, so technically it’s been in the red for a long time.

It's a very interesting post. I got the feeling it was attempting to be transparent while still hiding a butt load of motives.

Yes. I would assume they are looking to leverage it like Y-Combinator does for HN. But since they are looking to turn a profit, maybe they have bigger plans for it as a stand alone community. You've been active on DN, right? Slack is impressive. Do you think this is a positive?
