YC hates competition to its companies, so much that it scrubbed the article about Rentul from the front page and newsfeed. Fuck you yc, Airbnb I am coming for you.
Looking at Rentul, my first impression was that it took too many clicks to get to a listing. I clicked on Breckenridge Colorado and was given a page that said "here are what we found in breckenridge." I didn't realize at first that I had to click on that text to actually see the ratings. Second impression was that I couldn't find any properties listing their rates. Every one of them said "Contact the owner to find out the rate" but then I clicked "Contact Owner" and was accused of being a spammer. Then I realized I needed an account to ask an owner a question at which point I bounced.<p>Plug your funnel, put the rate right on the page, and don't make me "click here to read more." Might improve your conversion rate.<p>That being said your submission was probably just flagged. <i>probably</i> not someone at yc actively discriminating against competitors.
