So his suggestion to improve YC is to increase financial pressure on founders so you filter the ones that ”really believe in their product” , ignoring what would happen with the ones that failed all the same and ignoring that an obvious consequence is also filtering people for who can afford 3 months without pay.
Also, his suggestion is to block the startups that are most likely to succeed (the ones who can validate and gain traction from within YC network). And the reason for that is... a sense of nostalgia when B2C was a majority in YC? He assumes B2C is the spirit of YC and that should be reason enough to make a decision that will make YC select companies less likely to succeed at YC?
Reducing batch size is the only idea there that make any rational sense at least (which doesn’t mean it is correct).
