    "...it stands on the premise that someone offering a choice to you is the same as you being forced to participate..."

I don't see that in the article.

I see it as a repudiation of the uniquely Silicon Valley culture that allows essentially bad ideas to get huge amounts of funding. It's not really a screed against the buyers - they are just the sad suckers being played, in the end - but more as a wake-up call against the navel-gazing protective bubble of the SV startup scene.
