LeadGenius looks gross too. Has it been praised on HN?

They are a YC company.

While HN is offered by YC, being a YC company does not mean getting favorable reception by the community on HN.

So LeadGenius being a YC company and Anymailfinder getting poor reception on HN doesn't demonstrate any kind of inconsistency.

They got 138 points on their launch and lots of positive comments. Then they received $18 million. I'd say that's pretty positive reception in the Valley.

Points on a HN news article aren't the same as votes in favor of the company by the HN community (heck, this one on Anymailfinder has 49 points currently; if points were a measure, Anymailfinder would be getting a positive response, rather than the negative one complained of to launch this subthread.)

Not from HN.

Reception by the HN community isn't the same thing as reception in the Valley.

The comments seemed pretty positive.
