Ask Sam, HN's darling.
It was a direct order from Paul Graham. He keeps mum about it but I have trusted sources who know the truth. Additionally, it's sort of public knowledge:

I don't have a full view into exactly why he was fired from both OpenAI and Y-combinator. But from what I hear the reasoning is a bit similar. Sam Altman is a bit of a political snake. He lacks ethics and he's not honest either. The last part is just me speculating on a lot of the anecdotes from quips I've heard over the years from people who know Sam.
Sams public persona is very different. And I think a lot of HN viewers worship that public persona. But Sam being a darling of the HN and Ycombinator themselves? No way. They fired him so it's unlikely.
That when you come to this site you have to type in the words ycombinator for the url right?
You said Sam is HNs darling. That's different from saying HN viewers. So you literally did not say what you said here.
Nope, this is wrong. HN is a site run by Y Combinator and heavily moderated but the comments are coming from the site's users and not Y Combinator itself
You most obviously must be referring to the owners of the website.
Or are you referring to the comments?
Because both the users and the owners of said website have vastly different opinions here.
Additionally at one point Sam Altman was literally a "darling" for the company, before he got fired.
Your statement is ambigiuose and therefore wrong.
