I hate ads as much as the next guy. But somehow, I still voted up an ad at the end of a pg essay. It worked on me.

The UI is good, the idea is really elegant, and it is well executed.

I did the same thing, but I'll bet you did it for the same reason as me -- you wanted to try it out because it was a YC company and you were curious.

Now I wasn't "lying" when I up-voted the ad -- it did seem generally interesting (some Ruby site that provided tutorial screencasts), but I'm not sure I would have voted if it wasn't linked off news.yc.

You're right. I was well-disposed because I figured it was a YC startup.
