I guess both perspectives seem completely rational to me. Why shouldn’t Ycombinator care most about viability and why shouldn’t startups care most about vision?
Each side needs to cater to the other a bit but ultimately this is just the difference between funders and builders.
I think the complaint here is that the current "mass market" version that treats all founders the same isn't really able to deliver on the promise of helping most of them achieve their vision. If YC makes all its money from tentpoles, the fund doesn't care. But founders probably care.
Cannot even remotely understand the logic in this getting flagged.
People are upset with the idea, that the mother and the fetus form a feedback loop, to ensure the baby is as large as possible, while still being able to exit the womb??
Yeah, horrible, flaggable idea. Even if one disagrees, what is the logic in flagging? "Ew, ick! Birth!"?!?
