Actually this ad highlights a problem in how startups see their users: most people aren't millionaire jet-setters like Sean Parker. They don't have amazing stories to tell to strangers. Their stories aren't movie material. Most social interaction is small talk, and small talk over a webcam isn't something you'll want to do more than once or twice.
There's a disconnect between what startups think people do, and what people actually do.
