- aspir 15y agoAgreed. This really was the "final straw" for me in regards to respecting Techcrunch. You can't claim to exist as a resource for startups when your founder does something like this. I'll try to avoid them as best I can from now on, not that it means much. I was fine with Techcrunch's increased coverage on BigCos and decreased coverage on startups -- they need to pay the bills, and juicy popular companies get more views than tiny startups. But this is too far. I never assumed that Techcrunch was a strong resource for entrepreneurs, but now they'll throw them under the bus for a blog post.
- jswinghammer 15y agoYeah I don't really get that either. It seems like it was unnecessary to even write this blog post or include any examples if you really had to say this publicly. This seems like a great candidate for an office email. Right now I'm picturing the worst about someone without details so my brain is just making up things that are probably much worse than anything that actually happened. I didn't much control over that instinct either which is the most annoying part.
