     If it makes you feel any better most tech startups are outright scams. It's usually some kind of pet project by a trust fund baby which is why they're often in their 20's and usually their main goal is to farm ESG money or get themselves bought out by a company like Google or Microsoft.
     
     Their goal isn't to actually make a product it's to fake growth and then rug pull all their employees and investors while they run off with the cash. It's pretty impressive in a way because of how common it is, this is why you see them using buzzwords like how they're a fast growing startup. They're hiring all these employees in order to fake growth and then they use crap like crypto and AI to attract retards who don't know anything about it but they just know that they're supposed to be fast growing industries.
     
     Have you noticed for example how games companies like EA are trying to promote AI? That's just another side of the scam, the product itself is garbage, but it won't matter to them if they can get someone rich and dumb enough to by into it.
     
     I should point out as well that DEI and ESG are another big part of this. To show I'm not playing favourites Elon Musk is doing the same bullshit with his H1B visa simping for Indians, this is how these CEOs make money and keep failing upward.

     I fucking hate tech. I was talked down to by a startup dipshit once a few years ago. If I had been diagnosed with a terminal illness I probably would've just shoved the faggot into traffic.
