Are you sure this is the case? Might it be that alums who speak out against YC suffer repercussions?
I praise 90% of what YC does. But I also call them out on their mistakes. https://x.com/garrytan https://x.com/garrytan blocks me, which is, I'm sad to report, the smallest of the repercussions they've taken against me.
I love YC, but they need to grow some thicker skin and quit hiding in their Silicon Valley bubble.
- breck 2y agoHere is a perfect example: a nice helpful post, with highly constructive feedback, but is mildly critical of YC gets [flagged] https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41180917 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41180917 YC = YCensornator. Don't give me the B.S. about "HN != YC". We all know that's mostly untrue.
