Is it just me or most of these startups don't have any "Wow factor"? I mean 9GAG has been around for quite some time now and what does it bring to the table?

Is it just me or most of these startups don't have any "Wow factor"? I mean 9GAG has been around for quite some time now and what does it bring to the table? Mark.io is basically canvas / quickmeme but with a slicker "Startup look". Scoutzie could be a side project on Shown HN. Sacha Greif is doing something similar with Folyo. CocoPad, I don't have word for this. I don't understand why this idea got accepted in YC in the first place. Its not all bad though. Bufferbox, instacart, Flightfox and some other are really trying to change their own industry / market and looks like true YC Startup. Anyway, this is just a rant from someone who use to get excited seeing all the great startup from YC demo day.
