    My least favorite thing is when VC firms that passed on @superBetter keep asking me to advise them on mobile/health/games

        @avantgame Followed this thread back and can't believe this is VCs expecting you to advise for free? No no no. You are VERY EXPENSIVE.

        . @rachelsklar but it's not "advising." It's "coffee." and "brain picking."

        @avantgame Basically, their theory is that there's nothing wrong with them asking, it's up to you to determine whether you'd get value.

        @avantgame So they get to pretend that they aren't coercively leveraging institutional power and taking advantage of social expectations.

        @avantgame Too much social calculation going on, maybe? Ignore that and just say yes when you feel like it and no when you feel like it.
