      I would say absolutely all of them. Tech is a speculation game first and foremost. Most technology does not do anything special, it is just marketed well. Figma is literally just online diagram drawing software, what is new about that?

      It's not limited to tech industry, building a small brand up and then selling it is just MBA shit

          I remember walking into a business school building when i was in college with a classmate right at the point I said to my classmate "yeah as if the world needs more fucking MBAs" and my co-anthropologist chuckled
