Is this HN attempting to monetize their viewership?
- minimaxir 9y agoYC startups (and only YC startups) can place job ads on HN. This has been the case on HN since forever.
- plussed_reader 9y agoFirst time I noticed it; thanks for the info.
- mtmail 9y agoFor completeness The other kind of job ad is reserved for YC-funded startups. These appear on the front page, but are not stories: they have no vote arrows, points, or comments. They begin part-way down, then fall steadily, and only one should be on the front page at a time. https://news.ycombinator.com/newsfaq.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsfaq.html
