What are the reasons why you will not apply to YC in 2019?

Comments

I have no social skills, no network, no ideas worth throwing money at, I despise startup culture, and I'm too much of an idiot to successfully fool anyone into thinking otherwise.

I don't want to spend the 7 to 10 years it takes to succeed with the kind of startup that YC invests in. I'll proceed with a side project instead and sell out if it develops significant potential for such growth.

Won't be applying after they set up shop in China. For both political/moral and "tech" reasons.

When was the last time YC was relevant?
