Fuck the users! If we are to be honest 90% of these products we build on hacker news are bullshit that are great for existing to drive innovation forward, but in itself easily replaceable because there are so many of us willing to make a better competing product. Come on now, mobile and web products if killed off doesn't hurt any users, Facebook and google included. They are close to debatable, but whatever. The supply of apps and sites is too high. The creators of them even higher. Not that it's a bad thing at all...u get the idea. Cry me a river about point and click/touch users.

If this attitude prevails, eventually you'll likely to find you've poisoned the well such that you won't be able to find enough new users for subsequent ventures. As I mention here https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7130428 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7130428 in the context of the end of the IPO exit, every accui-kill results in a pissed off set of ex-users less likely to try the next startup's shiny new toy.
