All these are different from a random person tossing in a "what's the problem with [x]?"

Oh, definitely. Those are all positive news about a YC company. That's why it's totally kosher and no moderator would ever dream of stripping off the association.

This article, in contrast, is about a company potentially looting users' bitcoins due a mysteriously long response time and users being unable to withdraw. Obviously mentioning the YC connection is completely inappropriate. We need to remember here, that this site is solely for the celebration of YC companies, not to point out that YC potentially funded a bad apple that's screwing it's customers.

Please, use the YC association correctly.
