Take a step back from being the author of this article, take a deep breath, and read through the whole of this comments page and try to get a feeling for the big picture.

From an non-vested point of view, I see an article presenting a point of view, 95% of comments disagreeing with the article, and the remaining 5% are you telling them they're wrong.

Building really cool technology that you decide to give a way sounds a lot like how many startups have failed.

You've attributed arbitrary value to peoples worth when you have absolutely no way to know if you are correct.
