I am always amazed at the level of snark that creeps up whenever someone has the gall to launch a product that is not sufficiently innovative (as defined by most of the commenters here). It does not matter that this functionality is trivial

The presumption here is that you can correctly identify a startup idea that sucks. Here's a quick experiment you can do right now to see if that is true. Try to think of at least one startup that you cannot understand why it is getting
