That's ironic - I read the same article you did, and came away thinking that it was a puff piece on A16Z.
There are lots of negative things you can say about Ben, Marc and the others in the name of "Balance" - and other than saying "They are paying a lot for companies" (which isn't even an indictment on them, just a description of their strategy) - I didn't see it.
I'm surprised they didn't mention Instagram/PicPlz in the article, that was a bit of a stumble (though for honorable reasons)
