This post uses a logical fallacy: "1.25% success rate" cherry-picks $1B exits/successes. Many YC funded companies which don't fall in that 1.25% are by all definitions of the word "successful" (i.e. creating value, profitable) meaning failure rate of joining YC is not 98.75%

Tweet embedding is no longer reliably available, due to the platform's instability (in terms of both technology and policy). If the Tweet still exists, you can view it here: https://twitter.com/foo_bar/status/1712356821523161587
Please note, though, that you may need to have your own Twitter account to access that page. I am currently exploring options for archiving Tweet data in a post-API context.
