There's nuance in that. HN is absolutely a mere marketing channel for (current) YC companies. The irony.

The irony.

Is it, though? I feel like lately you could ask five different people what HN “is” and get ten different answers.

Just ask dang :) Oh btw I meant YC founders don't use HN other than for marketing..
