While I still buy every one of them (twice - one for me, one for my younger brother) - I don't get why they are still posted on HN. I love the bundles, but it just doesn't seem like it is startup news anymore.
- achompas 14y agoThey're a YC team and they have fans here. I'd argue these are more relevant to our day-to-days than the endless stream of "Twitter and Instagram battle!!" posts.
- short_circut 14y agoYC isn't a start up news service. From their posting guidelines you should post "Anything that good hackers would find interesting. That includes more than hacking and startups. If you had to reduce it to a sentence, the answer might be: anything that gratifies one's intellectual curiosity."
- elliottcarlson 14y agoFair enough - but, do you consider this to be news? I wouldn't want to see event Sponsorfied lists, or every deal Dealupa has . I'd be interested in knowing when they have a new feature, are talking about infrastructure, funding, etc. Listing their current sale on HN seems out of place and doesn't really gratify my personal curiosity. As I said - I love the site - I have bought almost all of the bundles and will continue to do so - this just doesn't feel like the news that should be here. But that is just my opinion.
- stonemetal 14y agoanything that gratifies one's intellectual curiosity. So where is the intellectual curiosity in online store sells things? That sounds about as mundane as possible. They call it the 7th but considering the other non numbered ones this is more like the 10th or 12th. At this point I would be more curious to see why they stop.
