Perhaps 6) would be the turbo-meaningless LinkedIn-like framing of work and life in tech jobs. The tone is very artificial and inhuman. It exists in other industries but the effect is particularly acute in tech. It's as if there is a layer of unnecessary bullshit language that people integrate into their way of thought. Subconsciously, I think even those who buy a bit into the bs suffer from it, whether it's trying to bump up Twitter numbers or writing some soulless blog post about bootstrapping or "lessons learned". The mind rejects it as nonsense even if it can generate some money.
