It's funny to see how this story migrated from being about the tech industry to being about startups. Are the two synonymous now to people outside the industry?
It's about pageviews my friend. You know, writing anything controversial and attaching it to a broad evergreen topic like 'Start-ups' will result in more pageviews. Which means more money for the site. Fuck these shitty media sites. Infact, this is a very poor reporting on the incident and has so many un-related knots.
