I honestly couldn't care less what happened to Mahalo and I pretty much agreed with all your points when you first revealed their ways of creating tens of thousands of useless pages, but nevertheless I also have simpathy for Jason.

I think not many people on HN realize (or probably are willing to admit) that This Week In Startups is the most interesting resource to learn from real experiences of fellow entrepreneurs, developers, etc. Mixergy is another interesting one, but the format of TWIST provides its viewers lots of insights and info that you simply can't get anywhere else on the web.

So not all Jason does is evil.

Just my two cents.
