Why bigot? If you agree that startups suck, why would that make me a bigot?
Startups are ok if it’s your first job and you have no other choice or if you own them (or at least a significant share of it). In any other case it’s a ton of work in a volatile environment without any safeguards against abuse for very little pay.
To be honest? I don’t care how an honest innovator is supposed to survive. It’s not my responsibility to risk my sanity and my financial stability for someone else’s dream.
I spent long enough in a crappy startup. Not doing that again.
Also, it’s not exactly fair to lump youtube in with the average startup that any random person will work in. Youtube was created by three super rich ex-Paypalers and within a year it was big enough to be sold for €1.3 billion. It was basically founded as a mega corporation, including everything that a huge corporation requires (structures, HR, good salaries and so on).
Can’t find anything on canonical’s history.
While Youtube was technically classified as a startup, it’s a far cry from the average 5 person startup that you’ll usually find when talking about startups.
That is (one of the) reason(s) why I don’t even consider job offers from a startup.
I have no desire to work under a megalomaniac who thinks he runs Google when he actually has 2 employees.
Oh boy another Anti-startup bigot. I do agree with the rest of your statement though

The hate towards startups. With this attitude how is an honest innovator supposed to survive, when you lot are busy demonizing them.
Notice I didn’t say anything about trash startups. Youtube & Canonical were startups too you know.

Well in that case enjoy your guilded cage
I have the choice between a guilded one and a shit one. It’s a cage either way, but at least in the guilded one nobody shouts at me unpunished.
