Thanks for addressing this, I was wondering what was going on with that other post. The content did seem intriguing, but also a little shady at the same time.
FWIW this shows what it takes to get to the front page. There are a lot of interesting links in "new" right now but only stuff with a bit of negative tension gets boosted to the front page (fear & conspiracies work!) Disclaimer: I provided the crucial vote that boosted this here very thread.
not if you cast the second vote within a minute. the subsequent votes don't help as much as the second vote, which already gets it too far (where people on the first few pages in the main section can see it)

This is unfair. There are a lot of YC companies and many do write clear, informative ads.

YC job ads are not voted on. They appear on the front page automatically.
i'm not talking that YC job, I'm talking about this post replying to the YC job.
There's a big difference between "getting to the front page" and receiving more than 1 upvote per minute.

They couldn't be half as shady as Facebook even if they tried.
