1) I wish you'd dispute the meat of what I said: * That YC founders can see each other differently on the site (colored names). * This naturally leads to more upvotes for YC stories. * These upvotes would be unlikely to trigger voting rings. * This provides a non-transparent (unfair?) advantage for YC startups, and a false signal about the interest in these startups overall for people unware. 2) The job listings thing I have less to harp on, but I still find it a little weird that there is a hugely popular job board reserved for a few hundred companies. 3) The comment wasn't intended as an attack on pg, and I understand the YC is from the top down well-meaning and full of good people. But the site is better, more transparent, and more fair under the new management, at least it seems that way to me. I imagine the cultishness is recognized and unwanted... hence pg not being on the leaderboard: https://news.ycombinator.com/leaders https://news.ycombinator.com/leaders (and totally withdrawing from the site overall)
