I'm surprised that you're foolish enough to fall under the assumption that people here are somehow smarter or better. They are not. This is simply a web site with zero barrier to entry.

I don't trust Yelp either. There have been too many stories like this over years - and even some in the comments section of this HN story!

Oh there is a clear us vs them mentality here.

I was surprised to see transphobic comments go unremoved. Negative comments criticizing YC backed ventures or saying Peter Thiel is gay is heavily censored through downvotes.

let's not forget that YC companies have an "edge" compared to other submissions.
