as far as I understand, recent accounts, therefore they are most probably "burner" accounts.

I think they're newly created accounts; IE, likely throwaways.

ohhh makes sense, thanks. I've been kinda just thinking they were HN admins or like people that have gone through YC

Random fun fact: People who have gone through YC could see fellow YC accounts in orange. It was a neat hidden feature from HN v1. No idea if that's still the case though.
Consider applying for YC's W25 batch! Applications are open till Nov 12.
