You must be new here... YC companies can post job listings. In fact, YC companies usually get on the front page, not because of any sort of shenanigans/favoritism with HN's ranking, but simply because whenever a YC company posts a story, people at other YC companies will upvote it to help each other out.
- glitch273 14y agoI'm not saying it's wrong, but the fact that only YC companies can post jobs here is the very definition of favoritism. I'm also pretty sure that their posts go straight to the front page without needing any upvotes.
- argonaut 14y agoUh.... This is news.ycombinator.com. This is YC's site, not mine, not yours. Their job listings go straight to number 1 and decay at a fixed rate. Other postings (links/text) are subject to the normal submission ranking formula.
- Peroni 14y agoIf PG allowed anyone and everyone to post job ads, even for a fee, the front page would quickly be entirely saturated with job posts.
