Yeah totally, 95% percent of what we do as humans is superficial garbage. Just a bunch of apes thumping their chests. "Look I made a thing!" But does it really matter? Probably not. I think having your mindset, you can make a bigger and more important impact on the world. I wish more people would think about real improvements to society, quality of life, our future as a species, etc. As opposed to random stupid gadgets... We have soooo many engineers in world, and a majority of them are working on mind sucking social media and advertising.

Thanks for the encouragement. I've was rejected from YC and have been staving off burn out. I just moved back home to 'start over' and try one more time. Learning Adobe XD to design it myself and just whatever coding knowledge I have to make it minimally functional. I'm not ready to quit just yet. :)
