seems the somewhat successful strategy for building content on these community apps is allowing either illegal or unscrupulous behavior to build traffic, and then nix it when you're big enough to survive on your own

It worked for YouTube, didn't it?

Is this the strategy PG recommends, or the YC founders just think of it on their own?

I think it's a bit too obvious to say that anyone "thought of it".
