I am wondering - how do these startups get the media (techcrunch in this case) to write about them on their launch day. They just launched, have no business. There are countless new startups everyday. Is it because of the relationship (YC, Google Ventures)? Or do they pay for the articles? Or the journalists' personal preferences? Or what?

Techcrunch literally covers every single YC start-up.

Is YC paying TC for the coverage or is TC doing it for the clicks and caters to HN because many people here will look?
