It's not the media's job to help you raise money, it's their job to report the facts. Have you notified TechCrunch and the rest of the so-called tech "media"?

Have you notified TechCrunch and the rest of the so-called tech "media"?
- FussyZeus 11y agoFair, but I said it's their job, I didn't say they all (or even most) did it well.
- smokeyj 11y agoI think their job is to be entertaining and sell advertisements.
- eli 11y agoThe sites that get my ad impressions tend to be the ones that do reporting and not just cheerleading.
- forgingahead 11y agoThis does relate to the second part of your comment above though -- "tech media" is simply sponsored content benefitting the investor groups, and nothing else. Hacker News is similarly inclined (to a lesser extent though) for YC. But yes, I agree with you that it's better to focus on actual cash generation in a business. It's not a relic of the "old days" though, plenty of us do that, we just choose not to participate in the microcosm of "startups", "investors", and the rest of that shtick.
