(I'm going to mark this subthread off topic to be fair to the founders, who haven't broken any rules.)

It's a good question that has been on my mind too. I'm going to revisit the Launch HN process once the W21 stampede settles down.

You guys have probably noticed that we've been stacking two Launch HNs per day for a while now. This is because of how big the W21 batch is. Demand for Launch HNs is growing as YC grows; meanwhile frontpage supply is strictly limited. Not sure yet what to do, but the 'price' is going to have to go up somehow!

This subthread was at the top of the page. When a comment like this appears, it means that many other readers have the same question, and if it's upvoted to the top of the thread, that's even clearer.

Totally fair, I don't want this to be the top comment, I hate the middlebrow-dismissal and I've sort of committed that sin with this comment.

Thanks!

That sin is a co-creation and the upvoters bear the greater part of it :)
