Seriously, the VC mindset has completely broken the way US business people look at everything. There's no incentive to actually build a good business that provides a valuable product or service to a customer anymore. There's definitely no incentive in building that product or service delivery company in such a way that you focus on keeping those customers happy over a long period of time. Nah, the entire game now is to make as close to nothing as you can, bullshit your way into a massive valuation and sell it to someone else. That's 95% of value creation in the US right now.
Case in point is AI. No one can tell you what it's 1 Trillion dollar value proposition is, because there is no trillion dollar use case, no trillion dollar problem it solves. But that fucking fraud is propping up a bunch of other over valued companies who spent a fffffuckton of capex on building out a trillion dollar industry that will never exist. House of fucking cards.
