What&#x27;s particularly telling about how absolute fucking bullshit these &quot;Top VC&quot; explanations are is that fact that virtually every single one of their comments is in this abstract, passive voice-- they&#x27;re all talking about some other company, some other fund. It&#x27;s never their problem or their mistake. It&#x27;s full of qualifiers. Be an adult and take responsibility for yourselves!<p>Examples:<p>- &quot;the price of oxygen has increased...&quot;<p>- &quot;the VC&#x27;s have been saying...&quot;<p>- &quot;the venture community has realized...&quot;<p>- &quot;investors are largely to blame...&quot;<p>- &quot;I won&#x27;t name [the company], it&#x27;s one we&#x27;re not in...&quot;<p>- &quot;to make the business work you have to go deeper into the muscle...&quot; (I don&#x27;t have enough WTF&#x27;s for this one)<p>- &quot;A number of companies will fail...&quot;<p>- &quot;I would say will end in unhappy outcomes...&quot;<p>- &quot;There are good businesses...&quot;<p>- &quot;I&#x27;ve heard of companies...&quot;<p>- &quot;Companies have and are doing certain things...&quot;<p>- &quot;you can say that as values get more rational, things will get better...&quot;
