Wow. I am amazed a comment like this could be made by someone reading Hacker News.

It's ironic, but HN is one of the most anti-startup communities out there.

I think because running a startup is well within the grasp of most people here, but there's a personal reason not to, and like religious or political beliefs, it gets amplified.

i think that this really should read “you can build it but you probably can’t buy the required visibility or user base to achieve critical mass”. i think these days the problem is not how to build something but where you find the money to be able to compete.

This is so incredibly wrong.
