It looks like niggler edited his comment, but he's still saying that PG is an active proponent of this. YC companies are completely independent, and you really can't assign any blame to him for what one of YC's hundreds of portfolio companies do.
- moe 14y agoPG accepted them into YC, funds them and defends them in public. If that's not an "active proponent" then I wonder how you define that term?
- niggler 14y agoComment was not edited. It looks like you viscerally reacted to a comment suggesting PG isn't a deity.
- ericd 14y agoAh, sorry, I thought it was edited, it seemed to read differently the second time. I was reacting to your implication that PG was somehow responsible for this, which, if you know anything about how YC operates, is obviously untrue. Edit: Reading some of your other comments in this thread confirms that you're assuming a lot of things that aren't true to build an internal narrative and participate in this silly little drama. YC is not controlling at all, and is frequently not directly involved with guiding a company, unless the founders reach out for advice. It's a self-directed program.
