Believe it or not, founders don't run every single thing they do by the YC partners!

- infecto 2y ago> Believe it or not, nobody suggested you need to run everything by a partner! Believe it or not, nobody suggested you need to run everything by a partner! I would expect someone to at least watch a video once before posting it in a congratulatory post on YC's feed. It is not a criticism of startup culture but watching that video I genuinely question how far quality has fallen?
- mattmaroon 2y agoI don’t think it’s fallen, I think they just repost press releases and 99.9% of the time it’s uneventful.
- biker142541 2y agoStill, did no one watch the press release video upstream of this post? Either they are posting garbage press releases without really reviewing the content, or (worse) one or multiple people genuinely saw no problem with it.
- mattmaroon 2y agoI’d bet on the first. I don’t think it’s really that problematic, that’s just HNs reactive group political leaning that we all saw in regards to PGs last essay, but it is extremely poorly-shot. You’d have to be pretty extreme to watch that video and come to the conclusion in the title of this thread. You would only need to have ever seen video before to be like “man these guys didn’t even just google ‘videography tips’”.
- stetrain 2y agoSure, but it seems like this was posted to (and now deleted from) the @ycombinator X account with a "Congrats on the launch!" message.
