Looks like this perception that has recently come about is accurate then:
> Has Y Combinator lost its way when the latest company is a Mac only widget? (March 11, 2021) [0]
> Y Combinator has lost its soul: A YC founder's perspective (8 months ago) [1]
Seems like by scaling YC, the brand itself becomes diluted. I am not sure whether companies like Airbnb, Dropbox etc will still be able to come out of YC except by mere chance that is not greater than the probability of coming out of other VC funds. And then at that point, why choose YC anymore?
