Does HackerNews have an Official policy for promoting YC Companies?
- benologist 15y agoThey let YC companies advertise hiring like that.
- ajhit406 15y agoAh, ok. Is this an "official" thing that's been communicated by PG, or just something that is understood because it happens alot?
- benologist 15y agoHe made it like that a couple months ago, they used to be regular submissions but with optional comments and then he did something to boost their presence. You'd have to search to find any mention of it but it was official.
- ajhit406 15y agoAh nice, I think this algorithm is fair: "Now instead of being ranked by points, jobs simply start at position 4 and slide down the page at 4 positions per hour. To prevent the frontpage from being overloaded with jobs, no one can post a new job when there is still one in the top half of the page."
- ajhit406 15y agoI noticed a few minutes ago that Loopt had a post on the front page, but it didn't have any points nor did it have a submitter. See the screenshot [link] for reference.
- happyfeet 15y agoPlease refer entry dated: 12 May 2011 "New Jobs Code" in below link. http://ycombinator.com/newsnews.html http://ycombinator.com/newsnews.html It doesn't say anything specific about ad from YC companies though.
