I think that Juicero articles have nearly nothing to do with Juicero and a lot to do with the growing sentiment against SV.

While there are many good examples in OP's blogpost, most people are familiar only with the past and present unicorns and how they operate.

So there is the story of Uber that is going on: an immoral company with abusive management, avoiding taxes, exploiting employees and killing local business. It may be the biggest factor in this.

Another factor may be that people are becoming more and more aware and wary of the main modus operandi of the SV internet companies: data hoarding.

My point is that Juicero story happened, because people are looking for reasons to dismiss SV, not because Juicero did something exceptional. Unless the reasons for the sentiment are addressed, it probably won't go away.

Another factor is backslash against "change the world" bs where every company framed itself as a bunch of saviors saving us all. You was anti-tech outcast if you disagreed, so it stayed bottled up and once someone breaks it, everyone wants to add his piece.

We ride into town, sack the jobs and torch the communitys- expecting what? Gratitude? Praise for the progress? Gratefullness for the chance to sacrifice onces existance and family on a altar of capitalism with a high priest having aspergers?

Actually its a miracle people did take out theire anger onall the other scapegoats offered and not on th valley.
