Indeed–that image caption serves absolutely no purpose except to beat on someone who is at a low point anyway.

And it doesn't even make sense! Taking a vacation every now and then is likely to improve productivity, and for SoundCloud specifically, it seems almost necessary to go to Burning Man and mingle. The criticism is especially rich coming from a guy who looks at least twice as stoned in his official TechCrunch photo than the SC CEO at Burning Man.

Creating SoundCloud is more than 99.x% of people ever achieve, including me, the author, and the editor of this shameless excuse of an article. SoundCloud is obviously beloved by many. If they don't find a way to get those people to pay, they're in good company.

At least they're not selling to AOL.




How dare you suggest that people should take vacations and have a life?


Bias actually makes for interesting reading and clickbait. That is what it's all about. It's not about being fair and balanced. And actually given that the truth does not matter to the vast majority of people reading Techcrunch (or honestly any publication) I am not sure it even would be a smart business strategy. People watch wrestling and they know it's fixed. People read fiction. This is another version of it.


Ah TechCrunch, deciding to fill the gaping hole of bullshit that ValleyWag vacated.
