I don't know what was worse:
1) An article with "Justin Bieber" in the title hits HN, or
2) I click on it, or
3) I read the whole thing, or
4) It was actually worth reading.
Not bad Mark Suster... not bad at all.
- arkitaip 16y agoThis is actually an old link baiting title formula. What x can learn from y where x usually is outlandish or unusual in relation to y.
- wisty 16y agoFirst 2 sentences: "I know what you’re thinking – link bait title, right? Wrong." Refuge in audacity. It's still a good article - be talented, work hard, get mentors, build an audience and engage with them. Like all business articles, it's not really hard facts. It's sloppy stories, that helps you learn through osmosis. You learn from stories, because you feel emotion, and they trigger the part of your brain that says "I can do that too!" (not totally scientific explanation). They aren't about hard facts though.
