Ask HN: Your thoughts on Yo app being funded?

Ok I'm angry. Is that what SV has come to? But before I rant about this (stupid) investment, I'd like to see what others think.

Back in 2009 Blippy came out and I thought it was dumbest thing I&#x27;d ever heard of. They got something like 13M in funding and I was flabbergasted. Colbert sort of sarcastically did a piece on them and soon after they were deadpooled.<p>The 1M for Yo was from some oil magnate&#x2F;cofounder of Yo. Maybe to oil magnates, 1M is like a nickel to us. But Colbert did a sarcastic piece on Yo so empirically, they should be deadpooled soon.
