So, in the inverse, if it were not a YC-associated company, you would trust that company more or less? Regardless of your opinion of Flickr, I did not fear the future of my photos when Yahoo! acquired them. Last I checked, they were still there.

That aside, I do see your point, but to say that you will not recommend a really nice service to your friends and family on the sole basis that they are a YC company seems odd.
