>> You know, I should be a multimillionaire right now like we should have been what YouTube is today or at least a major competitor of YouTube and we should be a multibillion dollar Unicorn Tech Company. I find this statement extremely arrogant. It incorrectly assumes that the value and quality of a product is correlated with the financial success of the product. It hasn't been the case for decades. To everyone outside of the elite 'I used to go to MIT and was an early employee of MySpace' crowd, this was always the case and it's not news at all. When I build a product, I assume that there is a 90% to 99% probability that it's going to fail and I know exactly why it's going to fail and it will have nothing to do with product quality or strategy. I just assume that I'll have to build many exceptional products to even get a shot at making a living out of one of them. I expect success to be completely random and inexplicable. There are many superior products and technologies around but nobody talks about them and they are not being built upon. Everyone only talks about the mediocre tech that comes out of Google, Facebook, Amazon, or the elite Silicon Valley VC startup funnel. I enjoy reading these kinds of articles about elites getting a dose of the highly centralized monopolistic reality that they and their friends helped to create (e.g. especially those about Foursquare founders whining about Google over and over) - They're getting a taste of their own poison IMO. And yes, if you used to go to MIT, Stanford or Harvard or were on the founding team of MySpace, you are part of the elite; you have no excuse to complain, you are in the 'in crowd'; you could just have called the right people to make your problems go away; you failed to do that. Most people don't even have the option to socially network their problems away. But by all means keep whining; at least when elites whine, maybe other elites and politicians are more likely to listen.
