Not defending the attitude, but wrt fostering a better attitude on HN towards YC-startups, maybe some "Meet the founders" threads would help? Purpose: provide HN readers a chance to offer constructive criticism to YC-startups early on, and give those startups some crowd-sourced wisdom from a lot of smart HN readers (there's an example below where Vidly got a valuable nugget on video compression). In other words, get the "Review my startup" thread going a lot earlier than Demo Day. Maybe these threads could be invite-only, or accessible only to readers over a certain karma threshold? (Another epic stretch: from a community-management standpoint, this may also help bandage the "I got rejected"/"I got accepted" divide.)
