It’s getting harder and harder to want to contribute to this community further. Goddamn.

It seems that there's enough of a divide between HN and YC. As I posted elsewhere, look at the common values expressed on HN, and you'll find plenty of YC startups that are diametric opposites of those values. In the many years I've participated in online forums, I still find HN to be the most well-moderated I've ever experienced.

Many YC-founded companies simply cannot afford a negative press cycle or let alone the press face-time outside of e.g. Techcrunch so it’s unfair to compare their “values” with Garry Tan’s established desire to be TK-style divisive and disruptive. So don’t assume YC Founders speak for the HN readership despite their outsized HN moderation influence (as evidenced by this post getting flagged).
