Is this considered unethical or against the hackernews rules?

We label Bandsintown as a rejected company to show perseverance and because i think there is an interest in the companies that are applying to YC wether they made it or not. I am curious to how everyone feels on this issue.

Naw, I don't mind. Editors probably feel a bit protective of YC though, maybe that's why the title got edited, because the word 'reject' has some negative connotations.

Yeah I agree. With so many startups launching it just seemed logical to highlight YC applicants here.

Maybe in the future companies could just use "YC funded company" or "YC applicant" if they felt the need to highlight it.
