This is obviously an opinion piece, and I believe these opinions to be wrong. The work being done at Dropbox is no less superficial than Yo. I don't believe there's a way of framing this in an objective way.
Not to mention that talking of 1m as if it was money earned is fundamentally wrong (think of VC funding as a big loan, not profit). Not to mention, it shows a complete lack of awareness as to how investment works.
However, I can feel the frustration in-between the lines and I'd like to ask Dan, what would a solution look like? What can I do to help with drawing more attention to big, disruptive ideas.
