If the author wants people to be impressed there needs to be something to be impressed about. Build an actual product with actual value and actual adoption by the market (even just a smallish test pool) and people will talk to you. If it's just an idea, well those are a dime a dozen. VCs want to invest in real products. Does passing over a bazillion pitches about concepts mean they might pass up the next 'big one'? Sure, and the VCs know this. Their job is not to find the next big one as much as it is to make a solid positive return for investors and the best way to do that is focus primarily on real products showing something to be impressed with. The effort wasted on writing this ranty post could have been put towards doing something to impress the VCs and have them calling you. Just saying.
