Current title is misleading: Y Combinator Failed Startups.

Why did it change? This is a discussion of the biggest failures out of thousands of startups, not that YC is horrible or something.

It's not misleading, though I can see why

It's not YC "failed" startups, it's (a list of) YC "failed startups".

Something like “Failed YC startups” or “YC startup failures” would be a less ambiguous title.
