Quite possibly the worst article submission ever that is voted up only on its merit of a good clickbait title.

It might a combination of these few things:

1. Only a single interview 2. No interviews with actual YC-backed founders 3. Has a spamwall 4. Has a bunch of audio ads at the start

Edit: Andrew has addressed all four issues almost immediately. I believe that my fourth issue was just me making a frivolous point. My initial impression was that there were no interviews at the moment (besides the one with Jessica Livingston) and hearing a few ads after jumping through the hoop felt like I was deceived. Thanks for the clarification, Andrew.

1. Only a single interview

>> I might have explained it wrong. It's multiple interviews. (After reading your comment, I made a change to the text above the email box.)

2. No interviews with actual YC-backed founders

>> I'm sending my interviews with the founders of Airbnb, TwitchTV, inDinero and other YC-backed companies.

3. Has a spamwall

>> I would never spam you. I'm not an anonymous internet guy. Many people from HN have been to my house for dinner of the office for a drink. If I ever spammed, I could never look them in the eye.

4. Has a bunch of audio ads at the start

>> You're right. I'll ask my editor what it would cost to have the ads edited out of all my old interviews. If someone here has a suggestion for how to do it, let me know. It might be too expensive to do to over 1000 interviews, but you're right and it's something I should explore.
