Ask HN: Why does YC back Alpha Vantage?
Their API is not versioned, some of it is out of date, and they don't seem to respond to technical support requests after being a paying customer.
Seems like a lousy company to me.

My conclusion, if you use them, just stick to the free plan, because that's all it's good for.

- colesantiago 3y agoThen don't use it? YC backs questionable companies to the most fraudulent, but this is in the rates of less than 3% (1). The best way for you to make this company better is to take your dollars else where.
