> YC routinely ensures that its companies’ posts show up directly on the front page, driving extra exposure to stories that benefit their investments. That’s a significant advantage to have.
Factually incorrect: only job postings get automatic exposure on the HN front page, and nothing else. (although, there's a slight bias toward YC company announcements in terms of upvotes from other people due to the fact that other YC founders are on HN, but it's not easily discernable, and bad submissions are quickly corrected through flags)
