Gossip rag aside, alot of the criticisms brought forth by valleywag is on point...

There is A LOT of dumb money. There ARE a ton of idiot startupbro/princesses.

Anything to deflate the delusional silliness bubbling up here is probably a good thing in the long run.

The HN hivemind loves to rally against the stuffy culture of the corporate world. Are the rapgenius bros any better?

Let's ditch the douchiness and get back to the good ole days of building meaningful, truly world-changing, shit out of our garages.

Half a century of paparazzi and celebrity gossip has now deflated the delusional silliness in Hollywood--it's time to bring that style of hard-hitting journalism to Silicon Valley.
Silly analogy. Hollywood bros don't claim to be saving the world nor do they cast themselves in a superior light than all the other bloodsuckers.

When you take yourself this seriously (Saray Lacey... classic example), you're going to get ridiculed and made fun of. Rightfully deserved too.

IDK. Digging up people's private lives is not cool (e.g. valleywag's articles about Eric's open marriage), but pointing out blatant douchiness is admirable. We need more of that shit to keep us all in line (e.g. Sandberg's unpaid intern fuckup - which let's be honest is fucking disgusting).

Enough toeing the line brah.
