- wyldfire 10y agoI dunno if I'm representative of HN but I consider YC mostly orthogonal to HN. I don't care about what YC does, but I find the stories and comments of HN valuable regardless.
- clydethefrog 10y agoI think, according to jwz's tweets [0][1], he has a different opinion and sees HN as a community with a distinct ideology he does not want to have on his blog. Personally I I think he has a point there - whenever YC and politics is involved this community can become quite one-sided. See for instance the discussion about Thiel's donation to Trump.
