I think parent is commenting at the fact that everybody is just doing a startup just because they can. I somewhat agree, because I don’t see as many startups launching that provide a societal and economical utility like those in 2007-2012.
Like the u/giarc commented. What makes bento so different than all the food delivery services that came before it? There’s nothing unique about it.
Nope, not in the least! YC should do whatever is best for them.
I'm saying (poorly) that I miss getting excited about new startups launching. This is probably more of a reflection of my own shift in perception than it is a statement on YC or incubators as a whole.
