All tech startup CEOs require some element of snake oil salesmanship. You are selling something to investors that doesn't exist yet.

Plus even when it does exist, it's mostly BS nobody really needs if not actually detrimental to the world, like Twitter...

The snake oil is only necessary for companies who want to sell a vision of something that absolutely exists (co-working), but lacks the profitability threshold that investors would get excited about. So they have to turn this into a "it's Co-working...reimagined!" BS.
