Two unfortunate things about the startup community:
1) There is no business too small for commentators to say "That is beneath my notice and therefore I will not disparage it and confidently predict failure."
2) There is no business too large for commentators to stop doing #1.

I think, normatively, we should be almost unreasonably supportive of people building things.
It would be a happier, healthier world if people looked at entrepreneurs and extended them the same charitable "Hmm, I default to thinking you're probably good at your job and your offering is valuable" we extend to teachers, journalists, or barbers for that matter.
"And if you're bad at your job, because probabalistically some entrepreneurs, teachers, or barbers are bad at their job, I will probably not yell into your place of business 'Hey you are bad at your job!' if we don't have an existing relationship, for reasons.", one continues.
