Comment on Top Startups That TechCrunch Missed - Nov

Comments

Even though we're in this list (HeyCrowd), I don't get why everyone gets so angry when seeing a list of startups and calling them "junk". It's just a lazy thought process to do that. It's true that most of them will probably fail anyway, so what's the point in destroying them when they're trying their best to bring a vision to life ? Personally, I have discovered a bunch of interesting products there.

I'm on the list, too, and I could understand downvotes (if people don't like the links), but vicious comments... I don't get why people do that.

I think most people don't realize how much work goes into making any of these "junk" or "side project" projects.

Get used to it. It takes an incredible amount of work to build a "crappy" startup, but less than zero to post a snarky comment to HN that makes one feel superior.

Very true. I hope everyone who is trying to build something and want to show it to HN realize this very fact and keep working regardless of the kind of comments.
