Interestingly, you make this comment on a platform entirely devoid of advertisement, because it itself is one massive advertisement for the YC accelerator program.
So it's very true, you cannot escape the advertisements.
- bob29 6y agoAren't those weird submissions with no comments that show up on here ads? Actually, the last one I saw was for "Substack is hiring talented engineers to redefine the way people read and write things on the internet"
- gberger 6y agoYes, they allow job ads for YCombinator companies.
- TameAntelope 6y agoTrue, but I don't think those companies pay for those posts. It's all part of the "YC Accelerator Advertising" write-off that funds this site.
- black_puppydog 6y agoLol those companies literally gave up a part of themselves for (among others) those ads. Not saying it's not a good deal, but it's not a free lunch either.
- TameAntelope 6y agoI'm sorry if I insinuated otherwise, I totally agree.
- frakkingcylons 6y agoNothing weird about those, they’ve always been on HN. They’re also the one of the least obtrusive ads around. In return we get a moderated, fast website for free.
