We edit titles to make them less favorable to companies too. The principle is to make titles more accurate and neutral. If you know of one where we did the opposite, I'd like to see the example.

Moderation rules invariably involve interpretation. That doesn't make them arbitrary.

From where I'm sitting you do an unbelievably fantastic job dang and apply rules evenhandedly. Thank you.

I agree. There were times in the past where I thought dang was favoring YC companies (it's worth mentioning GitLab is a YC company), but in retrospect I think I was seeing it because I wanted to see it.

HN continues to surprise me as the best moderated community of substantial size anywhere on the internet, and this thread exemplifies why.

Thank you dang for making HN what it is today. I know I appreciate it, and I bet 99% of everybody else here does as well.

Dang would just delete this submission if he actually felt that way.
