I'd say the bigger "risk" for YC is that the competition to get in becomes so fierce that building a profitable company would seem easier by comparison.

- skmurphy 18y agoThis is the "nobody goes there anymore it's too crowded" argument. The more fierce the competition to get in the more likely YC can pick winners. Also, they would get much broader visibility to other startups' plans. Consider the other extreme: fewer applicants than slots they had allocated. Quality and success rates would likely be lower.
