I really don't understand the backlash. It's a simple, 3-question application designed (presumably) to find ambitious people that, for whatever reason, don't have access to the YC network. It's not a treatise on why "family isn't important" or "why you should throw away everything to chase the Silicon Valley dream".

If your response to these questions is to make an angry 4-minute video ranting about how these questions indicate a "lust for Mammon", perhaps consider if you are the intended audience.

I'm sorry, but I have zero association with Silicon Valley or Y Combinator and I find this video completely absurd.
