And copying our work was good enough to get them into YC so guess mission accomplished. Hopefully YC doesn't condone this type of behavior.
When the CEO and 11 other employees sign up for someone else's service to copy it, it seems originality might be in short supply.
I, like you, am curious if YC condones this type of copying esp since the CEO admitted it on Twitter.
But it's shitty and our team does a lot of hard work so I do hate to see it copied. That said, we've seen plenty of unoriginal folks do similar stuff in the past, and they've all failed as they focus on us while we focus on customers.
