Why is Y Combinator's reputation significantly better than 500 Startups or Techstars? What did they do early on & as they grew that compounded the value of their returns & reputation?

Yeah I asked this after looking up the founding dates -- was surprised that Techstars started in 2006!
wait that makes sense then. TS/YC start roughly at the same time, scale in v different directions. YC more capital smaller community, centralized. TS franchises rapidly and quality doesn’t transfer. 500 starts late and is crippled early

Makes sense -- I don't think community can be franchised and this lines up.
