To those, who like me, felt a knee-jerk reaction to criticize: If you are going to make a criticism, don't make a sarcastic or snarky comment. Instead, make an argument about why there is no potential in a product that: + increases the quality & productivity of one of the most valuable and professional skills that's used in 99% of all jobs + has a potential customer base of over 1 billion people + has near-zero marginal costs + has increasing returns to scale due to its cost structure + has increasing returns to scale due to its product development being based on learning from user data + is based on a new machine learning paradigm that has recently made huge gains and has unknown potential And just think about the value of writing. Some people make their entire living from writing (journalism, etc.). A large fraction of the population needs good writing skills in their job, just to share information and persuade others to act. If improving your writing - on items like your cover letter, your professional emails, your product - gives you a 1% boost to productivity and a 1% higher chance of a promotion, then this $110M is nothing compared to those percentages multiplied over the English-speaking population. Of course, the whole idea could be a bust. But if you think so, make the argument why. Resist the temptation to post brief, snarky comments about how VCs are stupid.
