Why there's no comment section under ads on HN?


e.g this one:

>10. Find jobs at over 800 fast-growing YC startups on Y Combinator.com/jobs (ycombinator.com) 1 hour ago | hide

"Another kind of job ad is reserved for YC-funded startups. These appear on the front page, but are not stories: they have no vote arrows, points, or comments. They begin part-way down and fall steadily. Only one is on the front page at a time."

Personally I find comments even on the whoishiring threads are rarely valuable, in most cases it's better to contact the company in question directly.
