I really don't like the idea of HN being bifurcated in this way ("punters"). I think it's bad for community and community is incomparably more important than juicing HN like a lemon [1]. Therefore my long-term intention is very much to figure out a way to have all this not be restricted just to YC startups—and to make this a win-win by having it lead to YC getting to fund more startups too.

As a YC alum, I would love to see less favoritism to YC companies, including the job posts (with 300+ companies in a batch, YC is becoming less of a signal of quality). I hope your long term intentions pan out.
