A serious non-troll question. Have you reflected/written up your feelings on the ways tech has gone wrong (define that as you like) over the period of YC, why, and how you figure in that? Because people care now, smile less, and not without reason.

That appears to be evidence the origin of the problems you're seeing is something other than startup culture. If startup culture caused x, you'd see it in all startups, not just those in certain domains.
It seems a more plausible theory that the domain is the root of the problem. I.e. that the problems caused by social apps are due to their being social apps, rather than because they were startups.

My guess is that many if not most of the problems you see in Facebook, for example, would still be there if it had been started by a group at Microsoft. E.g. the use of it to influence elections. Microsoft products are not famous for being unhackable. Rather the opposite.

Okay, well, I asked if you have reflected and I guess the answer is yes you have, but that you don't think the pathologies of tech have had anything to do with the startup world and its imperatives, limitations or culture. I disagree and am amazed, but thank you for replying.
