Paul Graham founded this site. How did it end up being so hostile to founders?

  It's become a more general site for tech employees rather than founders. Notice how most of the comments are employees talking about how this kind of opinion affects them. To be honest, I don't know where founders reside these days, Indie Hackers was a good site but it has a lot of spam and people posting links with little discussion nowadays.

    If you can get into YC, then BookFace.

  Because people woke up from the fiction that venture capital is about making the world a better place.

  As p0pcult said, people realized that VC is about concentrating wealth. As a counter example, Microsoft's IPO made a few billionaires and tens of thousands (!) of millionaires, and that was in 1986 (so take inflation into account, it's been 36 years). How many of these modern exits have made the lives of so many so good, with all the dilutions?
