Maybe the YC article was worded a bit aggressively. But I don't think the OP has sufficiently defended his claim that YC's RFS is short-sighted or irresponsible. The OP doesn't address the RFS' main points: - that Hollywood is on its way out, because film and TV as forms of entertainment have largely remained the same despite significant technological advances. Movements like SOPA are indicative of the industry's inability to evolve with the times. - that startups aiming to find better or cheaper forms of entertainment are likely to be extremely big companies in the future, largely by replacing the role in society that Hollywood currently plays. - and that YC should fund companies it thinks will be big. That line of logic seems sound.
