This reads entirely as PR from the VC camp.

Don't worry, this is not social media; VC does the talk.

The author is a VC, not a journalist.

It's damning of VC's. Most VC tweets pretty much look like that.

what do you mean by this? child soldiers for VCs? you mean HN/YC kind of defends ruthless VC people because they are naive?

I'm not really seeing what this adds to the conversation. It's old news that VC's are lemmings.

This is the first thing I've read in this thread that explains the VC involvement in a way that makes sense.

Super important to note here that this entire thing is based 100% on the feelings or sentiment of VCs.

It is a VC's opinion we're talking about here...

iaw | karma 4481 | avg karma 3.39 · | 2016-11-08 18:31:00

You're 100% correct.

that article was written by a VC

adamsea | karma 554 | avg karma 0.43 · | 2018-04-19 16:15:08+00:00

Its as if the members of the VC community were a bunch of capitalists or something ;-)

killface | karma 277 | avg karma 1.48 · | 2019-11-22 02:49:39+00:00

with how much love VCs get here, i'm pretty sure that's an accurate sentiment.

soobrosa | karma 6 | avg karma 0.17 · | 2022-03-01 03:41:26

I think that article is simply generous bullshit PR from a VC.

amalgamated_inc | karma 512 | avg karma 0.99 · | 2023-01-03 16:14:07

They hinted at this ("our brother the VC") on the All-In podcast several times now. Not just this author's opinion.

agentbleu | karma 351 | avg karma 1.25 · | 2008-05-29 08:25:07+00:00

Typical coming from a VC though.

csmajorfive | karma 4343 | avg karma 16.58 · | 2009-08-27 07:12:32+00:00

Yeah. I think this is one of the only times I've seen raw VC feedback from a private context. Very valuable.

imgabe | karma 22656 | avg karma 5.61 · | 2009-09-18 20:09:37+00:00

That's exactly what someone who was under the thumb of an evil VC conspiracy would say!

eat_veggies | karma 3096 | avg karma 4.98 · | 2020-07-24 10:54:30

that's VC as a whole

achileas | karma 269 | avg karma 1.69 · | 2022-09-02 09:51:00

VC people have always been rightwing. They're not your friend.
