How to make your YC application stand out

"I hope PG doesn't read this, but I tell people all the time that in hindsight I would've done YC for zero dollars and still given them the equity percentage. You will leave YC on the "inside" of the SV bubble. You will have personal relationships with founders and investors that you read about on TechCrunch. How can you put a price on that?"

Is it just me, or is anyone else getting really tired of this type of fanboy, love-fest dribble? I have no doubt about the validity of YC as an accelerator, but it's just tiresome to read this type of stuff what feels like so often.

This is someone who went through the program, and is commenting on the value extracted from it. For the author, the value of going through the YC program and getting the 'SV insider' connections was worth more than the equity share given to YC. I don't see how this is fanboyism in the slightest.

I suppose you got very tired of those "fanboy" posts in the 10 hours you have been a member?
