Anyone following the tech industry sees this crap everyday – some unknown, stupid, useless website gets millions in funding from venture capital firm A, B, C. blah blah blah company is valued at [insert a big million figure] and the founder is filthy rich. You start thinking to yourself – omg, what am i doing wrong? Why am I not that guy/girl who founded it? Holy shit, let me go start a website and I’ll be rich!

There is only one small problem with that – all of the above are gross exaggerations to create buzz/advertising for the website. There was nothing close to those millions in funding, that company is not worth shit, and the owner is still poor.

Don’t believe the hype you read about tech companies, it is simply NOT TRUE. you are being duped, the same way as when you watch infomercials and they promise that cleaner will clean your shirts perfectly or whatever else – it’s a lie, a gimmick.

Everytime I see articles like that and the comments that follow it, I cringe, because it’s actually pretty sad that people believe it.
