This is a great example of survivor bias. Just because you can list a handful of high-profile successes by no means discounts the arguments against Pinterest.

This is a great example of survivor bias. Just because you can list a handful of high-profile successes by no means discounts the arguments against Pinterest.
I can give you an equally invalid example of failure bias:
Groupon,
Friendster,
Myspace,
Digg,
Zynga,
etc
- selectstar 13y agoThey were not faliures of business per se. Friendster failed because users migrated, ditto Myspace, Bebo and whatever else. Even Diggs downfall could be partially attributed to the ready made life boat of Reddit.
- goronbjorn 13y agoIt's got nothing to do with survivor bias, it's just logic. The original commenter is effectively saying 'if A, therefore B'. I just listed several cases of 'A' where 'B' did not result. Therefore 'If A, therefore B' is not true.
