If you use Carta to manage your cap table, they will spam all your investors

The issue is not why the HN crowd would be interested in what PG says. It's why PG says this along the lines of someone who got pissed off at Comcast or Facebook and then decided to call them out w/o any specific context as to why or what happened. And no saying 'spammed' does not stand on it's own and shouldn't no matter who says it.
Would PG or YC like if all hacker news was 4 or 5 words doing similar? Of course not.
Added: Also 'spam' is an easy term to throw out there. Truth is my guess is either there is a reaons for this or the TOS states it. And with any TOS if you don't read or don't understand that is on you.
And I am sure PG and YC who have invested in a large number of companies would not like if some other investor did the same to their companies.
This is not a forum for PaulG, DHH and others to rant against companies on, yet it seems to be more and more the case nowadays.
If there's an article with actual content that should be posted and discussed here, not a Tweet.
Their pay wasn't close to competitive with my other 2 offers.
They seemed like an interesting place to work, although I believe they laid off a bunch of people shortly thereafter.
