This was a very well written article on this person’s opinion backed with some, in my opinion, sketchy data points. As I read it, I couldn’t help but to feel a little cringy like reading a gossip magazine. Sorry to be off topic but what motivates someone to write an entire article to prove to everyone that a startup sucks. The very fact that they felt compelled to try to convince people the startup isn’t relevant all the while acknowledging that it is relevant enough to warrant this post is interesting.
It reads to me like, “stop talking about X so much, no one cares about X”.
I think it is great that startups can raise money during a hype cycle and hopefully find product market fit. The truth is that we just really don’t know what Will take off. If it were super obvious it would already be done. Yet we have break outs all the time.
With the money, hype and time that Cloubhouse has left, I really hope they become huge. I love seeing people build things and I love seeing money poured into them to watch the experiment have time to grow.
The motivation for writing this post is the same as the motivation for any post —- it’s an interesting story. It seems like you might be taking offense from a post that’s just trying to analyze a case where the perceived hype, and the underlying assumptions for the reason for the perceived hype, were disassociated from the actual numbers seen during the general release of the app.
