This is standard procedure. Remember how this site started: it was originally for YC "alumni" to exchange news. Most visit the site regularly, and they are genuinely interested in news about their peers. Considering there are on the order of 300 founders now, it's surprising articles about YC-funded cos don't get more upvotes.

- pg 18y agoThat was one of the side benefits, but the main thing was just that we wanted a good news site.
