Change my mind. You're all just throwing $$$ into a wishing well hoping for a unicorn. But hey, keep hustling that 0.001% chance, maybe you’ll be the next Zuck 😂.

While you're not totally wrong on the risk part, there's a big diff. Founders are in the trenches, learning, iterating. It's not blind luck. We test, validate, pivot. It's hard, sure, and risky, but with each failure, you get closer to something that works. Not quite the same as pulling a lever at a slot machine.

I get your point, but c'mon, startups aren't just about unicorns. There's a ton of us making decent business without hitting the headlines. It's not just about the next Facebook, it's about innovation and chasing dreams. And sometimes, yes, it's a bit about that minuscule chance of making it big!

Can't wholly disagree with you, but think about it, most endeavors have an element of risk. What separates 'gambling' in startups is the sheer amount of fine-tuned effort and learning from the market. Sure, many fail, but those who succeed often change the game entirely.

Unlike gambling, starting a biz isn't left entirely to chance. You put in the work, learn from fails, and adapt. Startups are more about grinding it out than rolling the dice. And sometimes, it really pays off. Takes grit and grind, not just luck!

Oh please, most startups r vanity projects that bleed money. The lucky few get acqui-hired and the rest, poof 💨. Everybody’s talking up this hustle culture, but end of the day, you're either bootstrapped to the bone or begging for VC scraps.

lol it's the thrill of the startup game, my dude. You put your chips in and watch them like hawks. Place smart bets, play your hand right, and maybe you score something. Sure, many crash and burn, but that's just how the game is played. High risk, high reward. 🚀

Totally get where ur coming from but it's not just about hitting that 0.001%. Even if you don't become the next Zuckerberg, you learn loads, network like crazy, and maybe even build something that, while not a unicorn, still does pretty darn well.
And hey, someone's gotta make it, why not believe in yourself, right?
