I find all of the job posts from YC companies that launched years ago most distracting.

Launches are interesting to a general audience.

Jobs only to a small niche.



Agreed, the launches are interesting. YC job ads I see one of the ways the site pays for itself.

But seriously, tech startup launches? As opposed to another shallow-but-emotionally-intense political discussion? Easy choice.


When you see the same startup over and over again, it does raise an eyebrow as well.


Oooh, ooh, I can play this game! I used to play Guess Who as a kid!

Doooooes their name begin with a number?

Do they wear glasses?


> Jobs only to a small niche.

This is what annoys me the most, especially if it's a 'stealth' idea or it's a YC company that posts once a month instead of using the "Who's Hiring?" thread.


The only thing I don't like about job posts is if they don't say right in the headline their geographical area. If they do have that, I can filter them out in 5 seconds.


I don't mind the job postings. I find it annoying that there is no comment thread on them, to sort out the BS.


I agree. I wish I could unsubscribe from the job postings.
