His argument is that B2C is underrepresented and laughed at in YC, despite it being a vital and huge market. He isn't saying one is better than the other.

Ebay, AirBNB, Apple, Uber, Github, heard of any? It's too bad you were never able to enjoy B2C products, because these products are worth trying.

I'm not saying these companies provide any value. Looking how I wrote my previous comment, I might've mispoken. What I was trying to say is that early on, whenever someone pitches B2Cs to me, I tend to think they're all stupid. I don't get them.

That's not to say they don't provide value. Same thing on the B2B side. They provide a ton of value, so no reason to think one is better than the other.

You don't 'get' how B2C companies work? What does this even mean? You would pass on Uber because you can't understand how a business could possibly sell directly to customers?

Why not just say you focus solely on B2B companies? That's a lot more reasonable than trying to argue that B2C is 'stupid', because the market caps of these companies would strongly disagree.
