  They're talking about the company HackerRank hired to do DMCA takedowns, Worthit Solutions.

  You don't become a billionaire by writing too many checks. Hence why they outsourced their goon squad to Pakistan.

      > that is not what i asked. why did YC fund hackerrank? sounds like a shitty idea and bad for our industry. Idea of assigning number to a person and then judging that person based on that number? How it could happen in real world... Also if people are willing to pay for it (even if they don't know about it yet)in capitalism it is a good argument to pump money into it.
