Besides Tailscale not being a YC company, YC companies do not get more upvotes/weight/whatever on HN. They have to fight for attention alongside everybody else and I can tell you that they mostly find it just as frustrating.
There is one big exception to this, which is Launch HNs as described in https://news.ycombinator.com/newsfaq.html#yc. Each YC startup only gets one of those, and they're clearly indicated.
