Can confirm it doesn't. Many Ollama posts get pushed off the front page too despite having hundreds of points. Over time I understood. If they did this for YC companies, it would ruin the trust of HN, YC, and probably the most important to YC companies, the reputation of the startup itself.
I assume this is what happens when many HN users just flag every AI- and LLM-related post out of sheer frustration with the reality distortion field around this particular topic.
