I think you mean, consider "accelerators" / outside-investment from Angels and VCs as a last resort? YC can't be last resort, because it would be foolish to think you'd get in, given the quality of startups and founders that apply-- Might as well pack up bags and brush up on leet-code, instead, as that's a last-resort more likely to work.

Not saying investor money is always evil, sometimes it's simply necessary to make it through a bad patch or to get off the ground if you're broke. But if someone is giving you money for your company, it means that they value it more than you, which is immediately suspect.
