How does an idea like this get through YC? Do we know who greenlit it or what the basis on which they did so was?

Is this a symptom of YC having such large batches now?

The way I think about it, YC funds founders very early with their current idea and traction as their resume. Founders pivoting and iterating through several ideas during and after the batch is very common. So just because something is a YC company doesn't mean its actually a good idea that was "greenlit".
