Cool analogy. However don't some startups actually open up things that we didn't even know were painful?
E.g I was happy staying in hotels. I wasn't on fire looking to stay at someone's house. I'm guessing the hosts weren't on fire either having random strangers over.
Facebook, Google, Amazon. I was very happy with the alternatives. They just did somethings better. Although Facebook is kind of dead to me. Haven't opened in months.
I do like the analogy of getting overwhelmed by customers and having scaling problems.
- gmarx 10y agoIf you didn't know you were in pain, you weren't in pain. If you didn't know your hair was on fire, your hair wasn't on fire. I suppose if you squint hard enough you can make any of these support the authors contention.
