I don't really think it's bullshit, I think

a) People are interested in YC companies and

b) YC has the connections to get the posts there... If you had the connections, would you not use them?

We are talking from an HN user perspective, let's say you are right about YC startups having connections, so now would you stay in a place where people have connections and you don't ? It's like being the only poor in the land of the riches. You might stay for a while, but not for a long time
