The more relevant question to ask is how has the cultural zeitgeist impacted HN since its inception? And is the way content is curated and weighted, and moderated acceptable? I've seen some great conversations nipped in the bud by overly heavy moderation of the comments, especially regarding criticism of crypto whilst it was hot. Another question worth asking: is it a conflict of interest for Y Combinator to be so closely linked to the community all these years later? Is it not time to put it on its own domain with an appropriate privacy policy, and trade the "Guidelines" in favour of a serious T&Cs?
