Why not? I'd like to see them. I also think that if you're going to make grand claims like that, you should include links so that readers can make up their own minds.

Just in recent memory:

Anything relating to the scam MMO known as Dreamworld that Y combinator funded, and how its funding was possibly due to nepotism.

Anything relating to the admin of KiwiFarm's rebuttal [1] of Byuu's attacks on his forum or how her suicide was proven fake.

There are others but either I can't remember them right now or I don't have adequate sources to them.

You're off on the first one. There was a lot of discussion:

Not only did we not censor that, I recall holding back on moderating it. We moderate HN less, not more, when YC or a YC-funded startup is involved (https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=false&qu...).

You're right about the second case - we moderated that as not on-topic for HN.
