For people unfamiliar with it, Course Hero promotes some seriously unethical practices. They enable students to commit academic dishonesty by uploading course materials such as assignments and tests. Course Hero then locks those materials behind a paywall, where you can either pay money to access the materials or upload your own course materials for credits to access other ones.
No problem, I saw this in the rules before I posted.

What I replied was an objective fact that was omitted by the job poster, rather than a complaint. Maybe you should update the rules to discourage any comments of the sort.
Regardless, potential job seekers might want to know if they might be supporting a platform that promotes academic dishonesty by selling peoples' homework and exams[0]. This problem is not unique to Course Hero and includes other platforms such as Chegg.
There's also the issue of copyright. Professors who create homeworks and tests hold the exclusive rights to reproduce those materials. Course Hero and Chegg blatantly disregard such copyright. Does Y Combinator promote copyright infringement by providing a recruitment platform for Course Hero? Y Combinator, per the legal page, "respects the intellectual property of others, and we ask our users to do the same."
