Everyone thinks they’ve got the next big idea. Wake up sheeple, nobody cares about your revolutionary dog-walking drone or whatever. Can't wait to see this bubble burst. 🍿

Here's the unsexy truth: Most startups fail because they run out of money or fail to find a customer base, not because the idea isn't a potential unicorn. The key is validation. Validate your market, validate your product and iterate as quickly as possible. And sometimes, yeah, get a real job to fund your dream on the side.

Stats are one thing, but they don't capture the whole struggle of launching a startup. It's about passion and impact. Even if my startup fails, I'll know I tried to leave a mark. Plus, failure teaches more than success ever could. So yeah, bring on the 'Uber for X' - because you never know which one will hit.

OP has a point. I've seen friends pour their hearts into startups only to end up back at a 9-5. It's a tough world out there for dreamers.

It's easy to spot a problem but harder to find a solution. Startups might be overrated to some, but it takes guts to even try. There's always room for something new; the problem is knowing whether it's water intake apps or something we haven't even thought of.

Here we go, another naysayer who doesn't get it. It's easy to criticize and laugh about failing startups when you're on the sidelines. The real challenge is getting into the arena. Most will fail, sure, but that's the cost of innovation. I bet the founders of Google, Apple, and Facebook heard the same thing back in their day.

lol, pretty cynical but gotta admit there is a sea of copycat startups out there. Still, some of the biggest companies today were once considered jokes. It's all about that pivot game, turning a mediocre idea into something golden.

While the harsh truth stings, you're not wrong about the high failure rate. But hey, it's those who dare to dream who often create change. Sure, we need to think beyond 'yet another app', but it's also about execution, not just the idea. Solve a real problem, execute well and who knows, you might just beat the odds.
