Is that really what you want YC to be about now? I'm all for live and let live, esp. in terms of making a living, but actually using that as an excuse/somethig

Is that really what you want YC to be about now? I'm all for live and let live, esp. in terms of making a living, but actually using that as an excuse/somethign to shoot for seems pretty stark.
- bliti 11y agoDoes it matter what I think? YC has grown without me, and to be honest, I would probably make it worse. They've funded crap products before. I mean, that's their whole approach. Even airbnb was crap when the founders started. They say it themselves. YC is in the business of making businesses that make money. They do fund projects like Watsi that make a positive difference. At the end of they the metric is money and how much they make. I'm not saying that's bad. Just saying that what I think won't make Sam Altman pick up the phone and tell everyone to change their approach. When you make stuff, you will mostly make crap. But every once in a while you'll make good stuff. Edit: I upvoted you after people started to downvote you. Not sure why they are doing it. Your point is valid.
