Wow! That's really interesting. I was typing in some random numbers looking at what other companies were in this directory, how large it went, etc etc, and I hit quite a few of these missing pages. I wonder if all of those companies got ejected for breaking the code of ethics, or if there are other reasons?

I'm afraid I have no idea—I'm pretty far removed from that side of the business—but my guess would be that it's probably more complicated and there are likely a lot of different possible reasons.

YC has funded thousands of startups, so there's inevitably a long tail of weird cases. People tend not to take that into account when assessing particular datapoints.
