Is this HN attempting to monetize their viewership?

YC startups (and only YC startups) can place job ads on HN.

This has been the case on HN since forever.

First time I noticed it; thanks for the info.

For completeness

   The other kind of job ad is reserved for YC-funded 
   startups. These appear on the front page, but are not 
   stories: they have no vote arrows, points, or comments. 
   They begin part-way down, then fall steadily, and only 
   one should be on the front page at a time.
