I got rejected at ycombinator 3 times in a row.

Is that an indicator that I should shut down my startup? Or that I should stop applying to ycombinator, because it won't generate any different results?

What did you change or do differently between applications?

I started having a good number of users. I started generating revenue, it's small though. market validation is completed.
