Ask HN: Do YC-funded users participate less/more on Hacker News?

6 points by navanit 16y ago ↗ HN

Compared to the average non-YC-funded individual.

My own impression is that participation by the YC family in discussions and submissions is pretty low. Is this impression correct?

Hopefully less, after all, once you are working on a funded startup your time left over to idle away in online forums is substantially less than for other, less fortunate people!

If it directly relates to your startup that's a different thing of course, but for the most part 'participating in online forums' should take a backseat to hard work.

So is HN participation frequency inversely correlated to accomplishment?
