Who says Twitter has lost relevance? A vociferous debate erupted on the social network today when Y Combinator founder Paul Graham fired a tweet criticizing startups who’ve appeared on Shark Tank, a popular reality show in the US where entrepreneurs pitch to investors.
Startups: Instead of appearing on Shark Tank, spend that energy fixing whatever makes your product so unappealing you think you need to.
— Paul Graham (@paulg) January 28, 2016
The tweet drew sharp rebukes from prominent investors who’ve appeared on the program as judges, namely, Chris Sacca and Mark Cuban.
@paulg Yeah, because a free 10-minute pitch to 7 million Americans is something every startup should turn down.

@paulg you mean like the sense of entitlement and arrogance they get when they become part of a YC class ? It's hard to wash it out
