I think that idea may come about because every YC launch or development usually hits front page and gets coverage while some others do not. This is fair. I believe it's the user's voting that appears to "game" the system, not anything unethical. A lot of people here have applied to YC or at least have a favorable opinion of it. We are on news.ycombinator.com after all, not hackernews.com. Some others who don't have as many natural followers will find their submissions less popular? Quite honestly, I'd find it fair if posts that were anti-YC were quashed but I've seen enough I dont think that could possibly be the case.
