- Jonovono 5y agoohhh makes sense, thanks. I've been kinda just thinking they were HN admins or like people that have gone through YC
- sillysaurusx 5y agoRandom fun fact: People who have gone through YC could see fellow YC accounts in orange. It was a neat hidden feature from HN v1. No idea if that's still the case though.
- karpierz 5y agoI think they're newly created accounts; IE, likely throwaways.
- thinkindie 5y agoas far as I understand, recent accounts, therefore they are most probably "burner" accounts.
