Our problem was how to create a reality tv show with Justin Kan wearing a camera on his head. Is that a good problem?

Are you arguing that startups shouldn't ensure they're solving an important problem?

Creating a reality show out of Justin's life probably wasn't an important problem to solve, but drawing some conclusion based on the successful Justin.TV -> Twitch pivot would be selection bias.
