Dave RahardjaEd Zitron’s previous piece “The Rot Economy” should be mandatory reading for anyone curious about the environment in which tech companies exist today.“Venture pumps millions or billions of dollars into ideas that might sell a product or a service, but ultimately resemble things that can be sold to other companies or put on the public market for a profit higher than what was paid on a per-share basis. I once suggested that Silicon Valley conflated “making great ideas work” with “making ideas I like work,” but on consideration, many of these companies aren’t even things venture capitalists like - they are things that resemble things that they can sell. Do I genuinely believe that everyone who invested into the Web3 grift was a strident believer in the brave new decentralized economy? Hell no. They just went where the winds blew — or where they seemed to be blowing.”<a href="https://sfba.social/tags/tech" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#tech</a> <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/ventureCapital" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ventureCapital</a> <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/lineGoesUp" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#lineGoesUp</a> <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/infiniteGrowth" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#infiniteGrowth</a> <a href="https://www.wheresyoured.at/the-rot-economy/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.wheresyoured.at/the-rot-economy/</a>
