Bear in mind, HN is a service of YC that, to my knowledge, generates effectively zero revenue. The rare YC text line ad is a more than fair compromise for this, and one would argue "HN is able to exist" is "good for the site".

If you want to talk trash about a YC startup, go ahead and make your own submission, the HN mods are pretty fair with how they moderate user submissions.

Right, and YC companies always have the option of making a normal post if they want to.

So because there is no advertising revenue it makes sense to disable comments for advertising? huh?
