Why you shouldn't join Y Combinator
So many mistakes! a) What you describe is the VC industry, not YC. b) Yes, it's a well known fact that the expected value (in $$$) of doing a startup is less than that of being an employee, so don't do it for the money; and c) most importantly, your article makes no argument for the claim of your title, because it doesn't compare success rates with or without joining YC.
