I read something about this kid daniel a while ago: his startup is merely a custom wordpress site, not even coded (if you can call putting a WP site together coding) by him but some 25 yr old which he payed for that if I recall correctly.
But you know whats even funnier? Back in my teens I would stumble with guys like daniel all the time. They were a dime-a-dozen, and all of them my age or even a couple years older.
Problem? well, to put it simple none of them could keep up with the BS: having some knowledge in tech just didnt compare to a CS graduate, and as soon as they reached their 20s the bright kid was replaced by an average guy who couldnt do what most of his peers did everyday.
Being so reluctant to even try college, to the point of calling it a waste of time ('cause working in a common startup for 5 years until its bankrupt really pays out!) this kid is going to find himself flipping burgers and living with his parents well into his 30s.
In a scam like this, you can only keep pumping bullshit until a better scammer comes by, which is what daniel over here is going to learn the hard way in a few years from now.
This kid is basically a product, like a star child being push fowards by his money-grabbing parents.

Of course you can work things out, but that would require entire sites like gawker and such to be run by no more than 5 guys as a side-business from their homes, without offices, parties or any fancy shit like say a salary.
And BTW, it's PROTIP, havent you ever read a Gamepro?

As if the mental image of sexting grandparents isn't hot enough, we're also invited to imagine the tantalizing digital photo of a single elderly breast that so effectively turns that old dude on.

The only thing worse than knowing about their pathetic corner of the Universe back then is having it covered by mainstream outlets today. #danielbrusilovsky

This photo that makes him look young (FYI this was taken 1.5 years ago which is like 10 years in teenage time)
My opinion. Daniel works very hard. Research more about Daniel if you actually want to find out more about him. Calling "snake oil" on someone that you've ready 12 sentences about is very immature.
Intentionally calling Daniel, "kid" every other sentence is noticeable and frankly it's bullshit. Don't direct your anger at Daniel just beccause;
a. Silicon valley supports his actions
b. You have been at it for 20 years and haven't made it yet.
Let's support our youth and help them to a bright future instead of making fun of them based on a picture. #danielbrusilovsky

My point is, learning lessons and being publicly ridiculed for having dreams and aspirations are two different things.
Calling the name "goetz" a stupid effing name that makes me want to kill myself is hurtful even to those who have thick skin but minding my own effing business especially when it was a nick name you had since you were a kid or some other back story is more appropriate.
I don't hide my identity online like everyone else and neither does daniel. #danielbrusilovsky

Clicking on my name reveals so much...

Don't worry I'll let you guys go back to the name calling. Sorry to bring an adult voice into the room. Noting that I'm only 23 here. #danielbrusilovsky
