You are telling me all this time I could have made money with a hackernews client supported by ads? How is this legal?

Don't mistake having a way for someone to give you money as "making money." Classic mistake.

Why wouldn't this "be legal"? Hacker News provides a publicly accessible API. Why would HN do that if they didn't want people to build functionality on top of it?
