I think it shows just how divergent the news.ycombinator community has diverged from ycombinator (the incubator). Or maybe the community is simply a reflection of what the incubator has become.&lt;p&gt;If you look at ycombinator&amp;#x27;s about or principles page, it&amp;#x27;s filled with words like helping, teaching, advise, benevolence. I for one, disagree wholeheartedly with the spirit of that quote, and find it disappointing to see it here.&lt;p&gt;I&amp;#x27;ll finish with a couple quotes found on other pages on this site that I hope still reflect the the purpose of this community&amp;#x2F;incubator:&lt;p&gt;&amp;quot;The most successful founders are motivated less by money than by a consuming interest in what they’re building.&amp;quot;&lt;p&gt;&amp;quot;...empirically the benefits of benevolence are greater than the costs&amp;quot;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;www.ycombinator.com&amp;#x2F;principles&amp;#x2F;&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;http:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;www.ycombinator.com&amp;#x2F;principles&amp;#x2F;&lt;/a&gt;</text></comment>
