People’s bullshit detectors have gone off on the launch of basically every single billion dollar tech company. That’s the downside of being early. No one believes it will work. If everyone believed it, you’re late. I’m sure I could find a comment such this, basically verbatim, on the launch post of every successful startup to come out of YC.
This does not mean that any launch which ignites people’s bullshit detectors is successful.
Yes and an infinitesimal number of launches turn into billion dollar companies. The bullshit detectors are usually right.
