Groupon: On Second Thoughts, We Really Hate Those Guys

At TechCrunch, there's nothing we hate more than predictability. That's the reason we sold ourselves to Aol, a company we previously considered to be a dead-in-the-water startup killer. It's why we put Lumier on stage at Disrupt, even though their founder had nothing to pitch and a clear contempt for the conference and its attendees. And now it's why, after months of (almost) entirely fawning coverage of Chicago-based coupon startup, Groupon, we've decided to pull a dramatic 180. Specifically we've decided to commission guest writer Rocky Agrawal to write an "in-depth TechCrunch series" revealing everything that's wrong with the company, its business model, its founders, their children, pets and fashion choices. Jesus Christ, we suddenly hate those guys, and their stupid kids, dogs and shoes.
