What's interesting about the spammer link is that the YC narrative and everyone thinks about Obama O's and Brian Chesky's hustle making this business. Whereas its clear that mass emailing in the spirit of all publicity is good publicity is what created huge awareness amongst potential customers.
- 55555 10y agoYeah I don't really mind the spam so much, but I really hate when people pollute others' senses of reality with misinformation. If the AirBnB story is all about cereal and photographers walking around NYC, then you teach others to have a less accurate view of reality and you destroy their ability to make good decisions. They will start companies with an unearned sense of optimism, etc. Go ahead and spam if you're a spammer, but be honest about it.
