Very dishonest indeed. Does YC not do any due diligence anymore? They seem like they’ve become a quantity-over-quality investment firm now, casting the widest net possible based on the strength of their reputation.

It is worse considering this startup got its own Launch HN thread, instead of going to those threads where many startups are shared in batches.
YC is free to invest in whatever they want, but maybe they can stop the free hype threads on HN if they're moving into timeshares and similar crap.
Seriously. Too many SaaSes getting greenlit, seems like their board of investors realized that rent collection is far more profitable than making good products.
