Wait. What? Is this an ad in HN?

YC companies can make posts with special status. As far as I know, this has always been the case. You apparently have simply missed them so far.

You're right, never noticed one before!

It feels weird, by the way. Maybe I should wait to see a couple more and find out if that helps dispelling the feel...

I've noticed them a couple of times, but wasn't sure what they were. Thanks for the info!

No up / downvoting, no username, no "discuss" ... did I miss something?

Mayabe some extension injected this add. btw, where does it links to ?
