I believe PG had a comment in which he explained the ads(usually job ads) which start at position 3 and work their way down but don't have any comment section. I am not sure if those are provided to YC companies only, but that was spoken of as providing ad revenue. I am all for open and new sites and all that, but I do recognize the need to generate revenue to run something that we all enjoy and derive value, free of cost. So I have absolutely no problem with these barely noticeable ads(which still provide value to readers because they're about startups looking for people to give jobs to). This way, it won't end up dying like code.google.com or other free services. Coming to LN, I might be visiting the site but I am bit skeptical of "throw it on a VPS and github and lets see what happens". Something more concrete is appreciated.
