YC will attract an even larger following and the signal/noise ratio of applicants will become a problem in itself. The benefits of YC are clear so people will start to make it their goal to get into YC rather than build a great company.
This is outside the control of YC. Its a side-effect of becoming too successful.
I don't think we are too far off seeing "How to get into YC" ebooks or even discrete coaching on how to do well in YC-interviews.
Please forgive the pessimism but its my honest feeling.
