Is YCombinator astroturfing now?
Is it new that news.ycombinator is including what seem to be paid adverts like https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10678405 that allow no ability to comment etc. without distinguishing them from content being submitted via the normal process? Have I just not being paying enough attention to spot the astroturfing? Anyone know why these adverts aren't being flagged as such? You have not been paying enough attention. Y Combinator startups have been allowed to post job listings for years. Granted, the ones for stealth startups are annoying. And people can't comment on them etc? TBH I'd be fine with it if they were flagged as the adverts they are.
