So lemme get this straight: it's okay for someone to post this advertisement-disguised-as-an-article about a YC-backed company's product that doesn't even do what it claims to do (the "article" reveals at the end that there are an "unspecified" number of human beings actually doing things behind the scenes in Clara), but not for someone to post about a competing product that actually does live up to the over-hyped "AI" claims?

Unless noted, I assume posts come from companies and comments from individuals. This has large impacts in trustworthiness and skepticism level.

I believe my position is common, and why undisclosed company comments are frowned upon.

I never said the post was OK either. I'm not a grammar nazi analyzing these things 24x7.
This site is YC-backed. So, yes. (Snark aside, I agree that a disclaimer would be nice.)
