What a load of horse shit. That’s the WORST suggestion for a startup just getting started, when it hasn’t quite figured out product/market fit yet.

Yahoo and Google both started out as simple interfaces with a directory or index of web pages that <1% of people on the planet cared about.

Facebook started out with pictures of college students who Mark Zuckerberg wanted to try and get a date with.

Twitter started out as a stupidly simple notification app that posted 140-char status updates to a very small audience of geeky people. Most of them didn’t know why or what to do with it.

Uber started out with a crappy mobile app connecting a small number of San Francisco nerds with a few taxi drivers who weren’t total alcoholics.
