Apply HN, which was also an experiment from YC, just finished. The results were <i>highly</i> contested due to ambiguous rules and vote brigading.<p>This experiment is doing the <i>same thing</i>, with a preselection process and communication medium with <i>zero transparency</i>. And the end result is a <i>chance</i> at an interview instead of guaranteed admission!<p>This seems like an experiment that is quirky for the sake of being quirky. That is never good. (I had to research &quot;Snapfam&quot; since I&#x27;ve never heard of the term: the only influential account that uses the term is Justin).
