Hacker News Reader

I have noticed a lot of the downvotong of things critical of YCombinator and it's bias against topics it doesn't like. I even have emails where the moderator or employee refuses to acknowledge or explain why I was downvoted and not others. It was eye opening that experience and reading this list doesn't surprise me. Everyone has an agenda.

View on HN

What you're "noticing" is not accurate. HN gets tons of comments that are critical of YC and YC-funded startups. We don't censor those, and in fact we moderate less, not more, when YC is involved: https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=false&qu...

Your description of those emails doesn't match my memory. I spent hours trying to explain things to you. That was not a refusal to explain.

Hours? It was like 6 or 7 emails. How many hours does it take you to write a 5 or 6 sentence email?

Don't be upset people are rightly criticizing Hacker News.
