Woah. Just noticed that this story took a huge dive. Could the pile-on to a YC startup have anything to do with that?

I actually feel ambivalent about that. I think that companies should either succeed or fail on their merits (which can include the Court of Public Opinion), and, personally, I don't really like publicly slagging the work of others; even if I find it problematic.
