Hacker News is reasonably guilty of this. How many headlines have we seen with something like (YC W10) in it?

I figure this is more like a secret handshake. Presumably anyone reading news at news.ycombinator.com will have an inherent interest in companies that YC invests in.

Not that (YC W10) is a very subtle signal, but it's signaling something to the audience.
