Extraordinary claim. You state this like this is absolute truth. Do you have evidence of this?

As someone who likely has many different opinions from people from those of people at Y Combinator, this seems wrong.

Sadly your karma is not high enough to see the evidence.

Prove me wrong then. Show me the light.

I've contacted HN before and they've told me they auto-downvote certain kinds of content. It's not a stretch to assume their views are influencing that criteria.

Oh yeah, I think I remember reading they demote submissions that they think will cause low quality discussions. I don't think that's related to downvoting or your karma.

Yeah, I meant comments.
