- dang 5y agoYes, that's one of three things that HN gives back to YC in exchange for funding it. The other are job ads and Launch HN threads. This is in the FAQ: https://news.ycombinator.com/newsfaq.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsfaq.html.
- tylermenezes 5y agoI can't speak for everyone but with the volume of investments YC makes, I find it hard to be biased toward a YC company. I was told the reason for the orange username was so that we didn't start a fight with other YC alums, which would have been awkward back when the community was only a few hundred people.
