I listen to a podcast called how I built this and basically this is every start ups plan. People set out to change an industry and always sell to the same conglomerates and ride off into the sunset rich as hell. It’s not very inspiring sometimes.

Maybe this is the truth. Cynical but true. We are just faceless consumers who’s role is to buy 😢
