- jward 20y agoPaul has said before that he doesn't look so much at karma but instead at the quality and type of comments and submissions. When I heard that he was going to be using YC News as a way to filter applicants I was more than a little put off until he clarified that. I'm sure he's looking for intelligence, creativity, positivity, and passion. High karma can reflect this, but it can also reflect an ability to be able to grind karma.
