Nonprofit just means no shareholders. Direct employees and vendors can still get rich. In Kiva's case, the local partner banks do really well.

FYI you are shadowbanned and have been for quite some time, it seems. All of your comments show up "dead."

Edit: why the downvotes? Are we not supposed to tell an account it's been shadowbanned?

Campaigning is real vOv

> All of your comments show up "dead."

Not for me, they don't.

Do you have showdead on in your HN profile settings? This is what it looks like for me: https://i.imgur.com/ev5jvEt.png

They may not be shadowbanned. Many of those comments are just low quality and likely downvoted.

Every single one seems to be dead: https://i.imgur.com/ev5jvEt.png

I'm not sure why some of those comments would have been flagged normally, they don't seem to break any HN rules at all. Given the fact that they're all dead, I was leaning towards being shadowbanned.

Check further pages - some are up. They're not flagged - that would show up differently then just dead. They're just likely to be downvoted, because they're mostly low quality.

I run across dead comments occasionally that have nothing rule breaking about them. Offend too many of the snowflake brigade and you too can be killed. You're not supposed to be downvoting reflexively to suppress unpopular opinions. I always vouch for those that are worthwhile, substantive comments even if it's a statement I don't agree with.

FYI you are shadowbanned as well, this comment shows up as "dead".

Yeah looks like I was downvoted below -4.

Is there even such thing as shadowban on HN?
