I feel PG is wrong to kill the Doctor's valid question.
It's obvious that HN is not a news site, but a discussion forum based upon censored news. If this complaint had been about a non-YC funded company, the moderators would have left the story up. Heck, every other story on HN is usually about somebody complaining about a company's product or conduct.
Why is YC afraid of open discussion? So what if one company out of the portfolio is having problems? Nobody expects the investments to be perfect, yet killing the conversation makes it look far worse, as though there is something to hide.
End of the day, profit trumps transparency. Remember that the next time people get on the soap box and talk about internet freedom blah blah blah.
- true_religion 13y agoI'm going to guess the moderators don't vet every story. They just run a search for YC companies.
