Don&apos;t overstep the limits like us (but be close)</title><url>http://blog.grubwith.us/interviewing-with-yc-dont-overstep-the-limits</url><text></text></story><parent_chain></parent_chain><comment><author>onan_barbarian</author><text>Given the inherent dodginess of so many &apos;social startups&apos; already (&quot;get piles of users now, figure out how to make a big pile of money from later&quot;), this whole &apos;naughtiness&apos; stuff bothers me. It&apos;s a short hop from naughty to &apos;actively unethical&apos;.&lt;p&gt;Here&apos;s the question: given that you&apos;ve already demonstrated that you don&apos;t really have a lot of regard for the privacy of fellow YC interviewees (however &apos;intentionally&apos; you outed a bunch of people on Twitter), why should you be trusted with user data?&lt;p&gt;If you&apos;ll pull a stunt like this for seed money, what will you do to get VC money? Just wait until you&apos;ve got 2-4 years of serious work on a startup and you&apos;re &apos;close&apos; to serious profitability. What &apos;naughty&apos; stuff will you do when you&apos;ve actually got some serious skin in the game?</text></comment>
