Good advice - but did twitter solve a "pain point"? Did Facebook? Sometimes you crate a market vs. solving a problem.

"Fun" is probably not a painpoint, good catch, and this is one reason why the above examples caught on.

After going through a bunch of their other articles, seems like its a bad idea of sequoia to do something like this. Most of their entrepreneurs will suffer from a selection bias for obvious reasons. Almost every article does a shoddy job decoupling correlation from causation like this one.

Can you elaborate a bit ore there? what context are you referring to regarding correlation/causation?
