Every clickbait title is different. But. 22 Reasons THIS one will blow your mind.
- api 10y agoReminds me of my favorite clickhole post: "Top 10 Reasons You Clicked on This."
- vogt 10y agoMy favorite part is the apology for the title in the first line of the post, in a sentence which was interrupted halfway through my reading it by a pop up asking for a subscription to their email list (or whatever). Disruption, indeed.
- tehlike 10y agogive the guy his credit, though. he has been pretty active and blunt on funding related questions/topics, and to his credit, he started companies and successfully sold them. His sentences, and so on, are sometimes broken, but what he's trying to tell i think is somewhat solid. See what he's trying to say, not how he's trying to say. [edit: grammar]
- cowl 10y agoThis goes against his own recommendations. He wouldn't have the patience to hear himself out.
- crdb 10y agoI think this is an unfair characterisation of both the post and what is implied about its author. I've followed Jason Lemkin for about a year (mostly on Quora) and he seems like a former successful SaaS entrepreneur trying to figure out the rules of SaaS as a VC (he also organises a major conference), and to share his experience with the world at large. A lot of the stuff he writes is not obvious to me and clearly based on lessons learnt the hard way. Writing is hard and writing about a fuzzy subject (there are no "rules of business" beyond very broad generalisations) is even harder, especially when the opinions expressed are not going to be much appreciated by the target audience. He happens to have picked the list format to note down his thoughts of the day. This is very different from clickbait spam.
