There are as many kinds of VCs as there are entrepreneurs. Some VCs are untrustworthy and some are even dumb (as stated here). Just like some entrepreneurs are ignorant and some are event dumb (as illustrated here). But there are fantastic VCs out there as well. I'm on my fifth startup and I've been lucky enough to have worked with a number of truly fantastic VCs. FWIW... the clear give away that someone is talking shit when they talk about how VCs suck is when they say things like "maybe VC Fund X is an exception." A knowledgable entrepreneur knows that what matters is NOT the fund - but rather the partner. And there are some smart partners out there.
