OP: "Shouldn't YC be as friendly to not-for-profit startup founders as they claim to be to for-profit founders?"

Made it sound like they thought VotePlz was a for-profit/getting more promotion because of that (which it isn't)

I interpreted that to mean: "sama would not spend his free time on a competitor to a for-profit YC startup, why is he spending his free time on a competitor to a non-profit YC startup?".

...Because it's a non-profit. This isn't about profits or shareholders, but goals.

These organizations exist to pursue goals. The goals are more important than the organizations.
