What is a person who makes a site like this thinking about when they do it?

What is their motivation? What are they trying to achieve?

They’re pointing out fraud. Is that a bad thing now?

I think it’s fair game to point out that the the 30 under 30 hype list is just that: hype. And there’s often very little substance underneath hype. And sometimes there’s outright deceit under it.

I asked for an insight into their thought process and goals. The assumption that this was something bad did not come from my words but the nature of the page itself.

I have encountered many instances of fraud being highlighted. Generally it is a valuable journalistic service that I have no problem with. Most don't send the message that they have a vindictive axe to grind like this one does.

		In the section that says: 100% SATIRICAL — SCORES ARE FICTIONAL AND DO NOT REFLECT REAL-WORLD FRAUD RISK ? Personally I think it’s not a bad thing to be a little skeptical about brand new companies with double digit billion dollar valuations. If they’re legit they can more than withstand a little satirical dig.

I think the site likely started off as a meme. However it also seems to have a bit of a "hit piece" vibe to it in the last section
