It's not "effectively" an ad for anything, it's a discussion forum. The fact that it also offers some publicity to YC's business is an additional aspect, but not the main one.
- easytiger 7y agoIt's an "ad" in as much as anything. Not to mention it sells job advertisement space. It brings goodwill to the brand. A core tennant of advertising. Such a weak minded assertion as "ban all advertising" without considering how that impacts freedom of speech is unbelievable.
