I wish I could convince product teams that the MVP is often just a single feature. Like a search bar + results page.

Something we can ship very fast, then we can add the banners, tracking for marketing, account creation, user ratings, community forums, results commenting and sharing, image carousels and a mobile app with push notifications that the results changed. You know, the regular MVP stuff.

So many people think agile means waterfall using sprints.

My voice is hoarse from saying this so many times. It's a constant battle trying to explain that it's not perfect, but we can't improve on it based on feedback, if it's not done.
It often seems to be the illusion (confusion?) of adding enough features will somehow make this product useful because 1) I know about facebook/amazon/google and 2) it's successful and 3) has all the stuff.
