Great write up. What makes this interesting...I thought it was cool what they were doing...but also seemed too good to be true. I went ahead a booked a demo call with them. Great personas. Very friendly. Can't say they had all the answers, but they did bring a CISO on the last meeting, which seemed a bit scripted. They also never disclosed any breaches, even after I asked them. Yikes. Good luck to the orgs that went through all that process.

All this evidence seems pretty legit. I found this on LinkedIn and came here to post, but noticed it had already been posted. Surprised I didn’t see it on HN front page.

It is being suppressed by @dang, I believe they may have a policy that allows suppression for bad YC-related news.

Moderators didn't see it, and our policy is the precise opposite of this – see https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=false&qu... or, for more color, https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&que....

We've restored it to the front page now.

Yes, but your team claimed this set off "voting ring" behavior [0] and it was suppressed for nearly a day because of that. I am very curious how you determine what is, or is not, "voting ring" behavior. I believe Dang is responding in another thread about that.

Obviously we don't publish how HN's voting ring detector works. If we did, it would quickly stop working.

What matters in this case is (1) it's a software penalty that has nothing to do with the content of a story, (2) moderators didn't touch the submissions or even know they existed, and (3) once we did know that they existed, we merged the threads and placed the story on the frontpage - that is, we went out of our way to give this story more attention, not less - in keeping with the principle explained here: https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=false&qu....

I miss 2010s YC until like 2017 ish when crypto sort of just caused a massive decline across the board.

I guess it is great if you're a grifter/scammer or looking to just sell off to a FANG.
