YC has wrecked their brand, I don't care what they have to say any more, and ignore all their companies

Better to avoid them now

Why? What went wrong? I'm a bit out of the loop, I only know them through PGs essays and guidance videos. They've been an excellent learning resource for me.

They stopped following their own advice "do things that don't scale"

- scaled their batches without scaling advisors, far less time per co

- they've gone overly hard on the last two hype cycles, losing diversity and the cross company business activity

- their leadership are among the cronies and oligarchs ruining this country
