I don't believe YC messes with the algorithm or moderation to benefit YC companies. My YC startup got attacked on HN (2 years ago!), and I've seen many hostile articles and comments about other YC companies.
[Edit: fixed ambiguous antecedent]
- jpdoctor 14y agoThe antecedent of "this" is ambigous. You don't think it true that HN has significant financial incentive to censor or promote the links of YC companies? or you think there has been a lot of discussion about the HN conflict-of-interest? (perhaps I don't read regularly enough.) I suppose you could mean both.
- pbiggar 14y agoFixed, I hope. Is that clearer? Sorry for the ambiguity.
