South Park Sums Up Most Web Startups
- nopassrecover 17y agoOldie but a goodie. What's impressive is that '?' often works itself out.
- daeken 17y agoIn visible cases, yes, it often does, but that's because they already have mindshare and often users who are invested in the service. However, this ignores the other 99% of startups with no business model, who silently fail.
- joechung 17y agoDoes this predate the Slashdot meme?
- daeken 17y agoConsiderably so, yes.
- alaskamiller 17y agoThis is where the Slashdot meme came from.
- snprbob86 17y agoAs funny and cleverly satirical as South Park is, I don't think this belongs on HN.
- smithjchris 17y agoTypical HN attitude. Head up arse.
- zepolen 17y agoYou must admit, this scene is a lot more on topic than a lot of other submissions.
- Rawsock 17y agoThat's the old Web 1.0 startup scheme. Web 2.0 changed phase 2 from "?" to "Banner ads/Get bought by Google".
- jrockway 17y agoAnd Phase 3 has been removed. "Agile" teaches us to simplify, after all.
