You posting "better" signalling mechanisms (in your opinion) will not be the end of them... People don't do things because you think they're good. They'll find them by looking and copying existing companies' approaches.
You have failed to mention anything except to say approximately "YC sucks and I have something better but I don't want to share"

Of course it will be the end. You think leetcode mediums are enough to land a FANG job in 2024? No. But in 2015, they were.
The top-tier are always adapting. Always one step ahead of the rest. Formula 1, top 5% dating profiles, mega churches, olympic athletes, cartel drug smugglers, private elementary schools, and elite entrepreneurs, all the same.
Me posting the “secrets” of 2024 make my life more difficult, because I actively use them. Sure, I’ll adapt once the game changes. But I’ll “rest and vest” until then, right?

I am not obligated to help others. Don’t like my attitude? Well then, you’re not going to like the top-tier culture.
Programmer/hacker culture used to have the positive, helpful camaraderie you are looking for. But that shit is long gone. Like I said, adapt.
