I didn't mean that as an insult to YC companies, or YC, but when YC started they were literally funding teams with ideas. In Reddit's case, YC convinced the team to do a different idea than what they had presented. I'm thinking YC now funds more mature companies, but that probably is a sign that there is less of a "bubble" now than there was before.

Interesting point ... I don't know much about YC back in the early days. Don't get me wrong, I think the right idea should be fundable based on a few PowerPoint slides. I just don't see it happening very often at all.
