Yaw, I think it's a great post-- I kinda feel bad about being negative, but News.YC is littered with people who rattle off this groupthink-powered "VC and TechCrunch are evil!" It's WAY more complex than that.
Despite any bias' TC may or may not have, they are hugely valuable to reach tech bloggers and (if absolutely nothing else) provide SEO value and legitimacy for some buyers. Maybe I'm missing something but, other than the danger of having your servers die under the load, how does it HURT to be covered on TechCrunch?
