HN support YCombinator in several ways. In particular consider how much less visibility YC would have without HN.
YC has been very clear that they evalute HN contributions of new applicants.
I am not being critical of YC or HN, I just wanted to point out that YC is run as a money making venture and HN is managed to support it.

This is a problem, because as the userbase increases, the maintenance required and the marginal value created scale at different rates. It's not a show stopper by any means, but eventually there may have to be some sort of realignment.
