Agreed. YC from my POV is attractive not for the money but the motivation. The peer influence (encouragement, competition, accountability) is what I feel would improve my chances of building something amazing.
But I can’t disagree with the Tweet’s argument that what’s good for YC (swinging for home runs) isn’t good for the vast majority of founders (but it is what those founders want, and why the lottery is a thing).
