The ability to raise $100m doesn't mean something is useful or will be a good business. It just means some people with money to invest think it will.

Maybe some people throw away $100m but nonetheless I'm tired of some HN users bashing Twitter each time a twitter VC story likes this comes up.

Whenever a twitter VC story comes up there's not much else to do except debate whether the company will ever be worth that much.

Last time it came up people were complaining how they don't use it and hate it. This is not a debate, it's nagging.

So this time you decided to preemptively complain about that complaining? (Which hasn't happened in this thread yet)

Regardless, $100m seems like an awful lot :/

It's not that they want to throw it away, but that they might be wrong. People have been wrong with a lot more than $100m at stake. $100m of other people's money at that.
