I'm thinking of this more in the sense of the ycombinator application question:
"Please tell us about the time you most successfully hacked some (non-computer) system to your advantage."
This could be an example of a tactic for a startup to use against incumbents with enormous advantages, since thats basically what the situation is.

An announcement about streaming debate reactions that's mostly advocacy and a countdown clock isn't evidence of any of these things. If it turns out they are evident, you can conceivably post some writeup about it afterwards that might get better reception as it would fit HN's remit better.
