I don't think it's a blanket article, despite the blanket language. It is addressing a very select group of people, the ones trying to make money rather than meaning.

There are a lot of very talented people doing innovative things, but this might be my ignorance, but I'd say they are minority. That's probably because I just haven't heard about them, a lot of real innovation tends to go unnoticed. I find the smartest people I know don't like talking but prefer working anyway.

But something about the article resonates. My heart broke a little bit when I found out that multiple social networks for knitting enthusiasts, have gotten venture funded.
