Not saying that it is right or wrong. I'm saying that for every startup you show who are not about money grab, I will show you 50 other that are moneygrab, with a "mission". It's just the way it is, like it or not.

that’s why people talk about it, write about it, focus on the worst offenders, etc.

they don’t like the way it is and do not find it meaningful, valuable, or palatable to abdicate what little (or lots) agency they have.

so, out of curiosity… did you successfully cash out, or just give up on a better future? it could also be both.
