I can't find any website for it. Are you sure it's not just some posting category on Bookface, YC's internal social network?

According to chatgpt there was backlash and the startup renamed itself. I remember when i saw it in YC's startup list a few years ago it seemed stealthy (no website etc.)

GPT:

There are some mentions online of a Y Combinator startup called Bad News, but nothing official or well-documented shows up in public YC lists or press — at least as of the latest searchable sources.

The only place it’s referenced is in a Hacker News thread where someone claimed there was a YC company whose product was a blacklist of employees so other startups wouldn’t hire them, and they said the name was Bad News. But people in that thread couldn’t find any evidence of it, and there aren’t real search results tying that name to an official YC company on YC’s site, their startup directory, or mainstream reports.

Why are you obfuscating so much and telling people to use ChatGPT? How hard would it be to paste what they renamed to and/or the founders' names?

I think you missed the second part where I saw it in the YC startup list with a description of what it does and who the founders were. But since it disappeared I had to ask chatgpt what happened. You can ask chatgpt as well there is nothing wrong with that
