Are you aware that people who are part of Ycombinator, as in "founders", have special HN accounts, and are able to see who else has a financial incentive to hype up startups and YC and insist there is nothing wrong with them funding multiple companies that literally plagiarize each other or just slap a logo on top of VSCode hooked up to ChatGPT, or other people that are literally personal friends and collaborators with Elon?
What else do you call such a secret in group who all have aligned financial interests and are externally anonymous?
YC sells this feature as an advantage of being funded by YC.
That's not what I asked. I asked:
> There are known groups that coordinate to flag things on HN?
Your response is unrelated to my question.
