Survivorship bias
- game_the0ry 7mo agoTechnically, all journalism pieces on successful businesses are survivorship bias. No one writes and reads about the business that failed to find PMF.

- game_the0ry 7mo agoIs it a problem? Bc I know there is survivorship bias and also still want to hear about the successes, so what is the problem then?
- croes 7mo agoHow many readers don’t know that? And how many fall for the false reasoning of those success stories?
