Ask HN: Why No Paid YC Slack Group?

I realize some people might argue against this because of spam or because its hard to maintain quality but IMO this can be solved by making it a paid slack group.

I would definitely be ready to pay $500/yr for this. It should include past/present YC founders and some YC staff members.

Something like this will be beneficial internally at YC too, to test early versions and get feedback on product quickly.
