If there comes a day pg makes his twitter handle pg.eth or whatever nonsense a bunch of these guys were doing, I would lose all respect for him. But without that what PG and YC have provided is incredible value. Real world tangible value. Do you remember what snakes VCs used to be before YC came to the scene? Now my only fear is that Garry Tan on the other hand is indeed deep inside these scams whether knowingly or unknowingly. I hope better heads around him keep him and YC safe.

If you think YC somehow provides protection against rat duck games by VCs I have some very bad news to share with you.
I have spent and worked with VCs for over a decade. I agree that VCs like a16z and Sequoia are still snakes but YC is a forcing function for them to at least act like they are better.
