When we got accepted into S23, our call started with Seibel saying something along the lines of "We like you, but we're pretty sure you're going to have to pivot." A non-trivial amount of my batch mates also joined with minimal product strategy, so I don't think you can read too much into the rejections.

I don't have anything to add re: YC over the years, just that my anecdotal experience differs.
