Early 2000s it was: just put it online and it will sell, at a time when online businesses were still new.
Paul Graham's Y Combinator was: create a good product and it will sell, at a time when online businesses were these half-assed 2000s era products.
AirBnB/Uber's generation is: get a fuck ton of funding and do mildly illegal shit fast, and then use your funding and lawyers to rewrite the law. So called "disruption".
(I am not going to mention OpenAI and other AI startups because they are a class of their own.)
