20% are a great way to a) pursue your own passion b) try out a new product area c) try out a new type of job

Didnt read past the first section since that appears outdated already. AMP Project is run similar to nodejs by adopting an open-governance model. This was first announced here - https://amphtml.wordpress.com/2018/09/18/governance/ and the went live later that year.
The article is riddled with typos. Coupled with the exaggerated claims that "All shared photos are public" leads me to believe this was written purely to get internet points.

As someone who worked in Hollywood, you cannot be farther from the truth.
Movies are not produced by aliens. They are done by people like you and I. Similar to people who work at Uber, or Google, or Goldman Sachs. Or at your employer. There isnt a "hollywood" type.
This is an easy trap to fall into. Try to think from the victim's perspective. Countless women had to suffer mental and emotional distress due to Lasseter. Who knows, without such stress, some of these women could have been even bigger than Lasseter himself.
Neat idea, but that font isn't suitable for any serious webpage. While we're at it, the design could be much better. You/They have the right ideas with quick switches in the form of tabs, but the whole thing could be polished a lot more while retaining the original simplicity.

VC's are only interested in high growth startups. That means they'll have to pass up on a lot of good ideas such as OP's. The whole thing boils down to power law that guides investment. VCs are hoping that out of 10, at least 1 would be a super-duper hit (think facebook, google) that'll offset the losses of the other 9.
In short - go with "disrupting" world-changing ideas to the VCs. If your idea is good, but not great, you're better off finding money on your own and growing it organically.
> What have you done lately which is anything close to what Travis built vs. just commenting on a tech forum at his incompetence?
At the risk of going on a tangent - isn't this ad hominem? Imagine for a second, someone profoundly successful made the statement OP made. Does your outlook change then?
