If they're making fun of braggadocious tweets which turned out to be wrong in the long run I sort of get it, but just VCs being vocally proud of their successful investments is not exactly anything to mock. They put their money where their mouth is, and came out ahead. It's good to hear stories of success and failure both.
- guitarbill 7y agoA famous trope is that the jester is the only one who can mock the monarch, and monarchs ignore them at their own peril. They are the only ones who can criticise them frankly, and provide a view closer to the common people in a way the rest of the court can't. Doing it by holding up a mirror is just classic, really.
