I've been on HN since 2012 and have long been disappointed by what startups represent now. At the beginning, I thought startups were about technology, innovation and improving people's lives worldwide. But no, startups are about money, money and only money. No one cares about technology, the tech needed for PR and innovation is just for patents. Innovation ideas and technology can be bought by rich guys. Now it feels like a jar of spiders where a good idea is copied faster than it gets funding. It’s time to say that cleverness has beaten brains and we’re entering an era of copy-paste. As a result, the best innovations are lost. For example, over the last 10 years I invested in the best development environment for programmers, but no one else showed interest due to the weak marketing effect of signal-to-noise ratio. Yeah! marketing is above technology because no one will even hear about you and prices on big screens have skyrocketed. You need a Unicorn of $ to get shown to everyone. Gold nugget companies, where there is a balance of technology, money and non-tech are very rare.
