> "YC has lost all of the people who were there at the start. Saying something like “what ever was the ‘luster’” is akin to saying “who the heck was Steve Jobs, who cares, Apple is still the same business.” Sheesh."

Apple does still make hugely popular products and still makes a huge amount of profit.

Plenty of institutions, from universities to businesses, have managed to continue succeeding across multiple generations, just as many have failed after losing a generation.

I've no idea how YC helps now vs. the beginning, but different people isn't proof of it being worse.
