I’m newer to knowing and caring about what YC does at all in terms of the companies it funds. The fact that this is YC makes me think the org has forfeited any sense of “taste” at all. Complete scattershot from people who have money to scatter I guess.

You can read old Paul Graham essays and the early YC Startup School (which is probably when peak YC happened) to get a sense of the ethos. They increased batch size to scale (as context for the "stopped doing things that don't scale" comment)
