Aren't the high valuations in cash and stocks enough incentive?

  I think parent was talking from end users' perspectives. They will be conditioned to not wanting to try out a new service or new app as even if they can get some value from the service/app now, there is no guarantee they will have that value next year (or months in the current climate). I don't think this is necessarily a bad thing. As users become more skeptical with the new shiny services, it'll be harder to acquire users. And it'll be an advantage for the "real" startups with real users and real revenue.

    Thanks for clarifying, I was talking from the end users' perspective. You have an interesting point, but I contend that real start-ups with real users/revenue also get acquired/shutdown often enough that that's not really going to be a distinguishing factor.
