All that's highlighted for YC founders are the nicknames of other founders. So we can see which posts and comments are from other YC founders, but there's no special annotation just for posts at YC-funded domains (in this case, there's nothing highlighted).
- giancarlostoro 8y agoFair and insightful I would say, when the parent comment mentioned it I figured it checked for the domain of a YC company or something, but this makes sense, as filtering for YC companies might just be a bit more work than it's worth considering you wont always be able to accurately mark every submission as relevant.
- wheels 8y agoI believe the goal is explicitly not to skew things towards YC companies. The one special bonus that YC companies get is the ability to post job openings. The two posts from YC founders on the front page now aren't about startups at all.
