HN survives because it is a tool to recruit high quality people/teams to YC. There have been articles saying YC is worth $1billion so running HN with no revenue is worth it.

Saying all sites can follow this model is not feasible.



Consider applying for YC's Fall 2026 batch! Applications are open till July 27.
