That is why I really wonder why you say you look people's News.YC accounts in the application process. Someone with a lot of karma must be spending a lot of time on the site.
How about all those people who have little karma because they're working so hard?
- parenthesis 18y agoMaybe they're looking for people whose high karma comes from scoring highly on a small number of hyper-intelligent comments.
- paulgb 18y agoI'm guessing so. IIRC, pg has mentioned looking at news.YC contributions, but I haven't seen him mention looking at karma specifically. (Then again, I'm not a YC applicant, so I haven't really looked into it.)

- pg 18y agoWe don't look at the karma number so much as the quality of the comments. It would be hard not to, actually. When I see a YC application from a username I recognize for making smart comments, it would be hard not to give it extra attention.
