Yes but we don't solely cover VC funded startups with success rates of <5%.
We cover a lot of small & bootstrapped businesses, e-comm, agencies, side hustles, etc that IMO believe anyone can start. This isn't the stereotypical list of successful companies ala Airbnb, Uber, Dropbox.
I think both are important, but I appreciate the feedback.
I know there are a 'zeitgeist' of typical SV successful companies (Uber, Dropbox, etc) but we actually cover a ton of companies you've probably never heard of. We cover a lot of side hustles, side projects, agencies, e-commerce, and more too.
Good call, I could add this as a tag / make it filterable as some of the companies we've done case studies on have since failed, pivoted, or been acquired. Adding this to the backlog.
3. The most important thing it did was get me in the door as a software engineer. I actually learned and became decent on the job. I took those skills and built my own company years later.
My point is less about the content being useful/interesting and more about being mindful of our information diet.
How many videos do you need to watch about music theory? Does it ever feel like the same content but regurgitated in different ways? Do you watch this to genuinely learn? Or is it more enjoyment/infotainment? (honest questions)
I don't study music theory, but this is how I feel about productivity/self-help/business videos, which dominate my feed. Although these videos were life changing at one point, I'm not sure how much more value I'm getting by continuing to watch these anymore. When I get to the end of these videos, nowadays, I just feel a bit 'bleh'.
It feels nice to find new, refreshing content that is completely outside of what the youtube algo would give me, and sometimes that happens by talking to friends (esp in different industries), reading books, old blog posts, etc. I want to stay curious and proactive in finding discovering new things and hobbies and interests.
Haha, my "workarounds" consisted of being persistent with a few different support emails I found, posting on the Chromium support forums, and a few other things. Pretty boring stuff, and I'm not really sure that it even worked.
Weeks or months from now, I'm sure someone will get their extension removed from the store, and may come across this post scrambling for a solution. If that's you, please reach out to me and I can send you the support emails and everything I tried.
