Congratulations? You weren't one of those who lost all of their money to this YC supported scam. Scams and get-rich-quick or get-more-rich off of the backs of others: that's the YC brand here and increasingly elsewhere. Paul Graham started this accelerator to make himself and his wife rich. YC exists to enrich its owners not as your litmus test for trustworthiness. Money over morality is the motto here. Libertarian values, limited government, startups as silver bullets, founding workers working themselves to death to enrich venture capitalists, and Dunning-Kruger for days in the form of Paul Graham. Are you poor? 'Have you tried making a startup?' is Paul Graham's solution to poverty as with everything else. You might as well ask 'Have you tried not being poor?'
