What's up with the HN post currently on the front page that you can't interact with? It looks like an AD for the ycombinator company Listia.com. Did HN start doing promotion posts? Did they always do this?
It just says "Listia is hiring developers to build a marketplace using virtual currency (listia.com)". I can't vote for it or comment on it as those links are missing. Is this a new kind of HN ad? Or a promotion for ycombinator companies? Or maybe just a bug?<p>Maybe I just missed an announcement about this? Thanks -
Thanks for the info - I'm really surprised I never noticed one of these before. I wonder if it would make sense to just include a link saying something like "what's this?" or "promotion" that linked to a page explaining. I don't mind the promotion for the in-house teams though. Good luck Listia.
listia is a YC company, they've always been allowed to post job postings here. from what i remember pg saying, they initially post to the 4th position and fall off the page as the day goes on.
