Ask HN: Does HN run ads?

1 pointleblancfg2 comments

Because the current item on the front page,

    After 3 years, Flexport ships 4% of Amazon's merchandise value. Join Our Team (fastcompany.com)

has no down/upvote options, and no comments section. Never seen anything like it. Has HN started showing ads?

Job ads can be posted by YC companies. That has been a HN feature for years.

It's even mentioned in the FAQ:

"The other kind of job ad is reserved for YC-funded startups. These appear on the front page, but are not stories: they have no vote arrows, points, or comments. They begin part-way down, then fall steadily, and only one should be on the front page at a time."
