Recruiter: "We're doing <solved problem> to <extract money> from people by implementing <unnecessary subscription service> that attaches <internet stuff> to <something that doesn't need it>. Also, we'll have <creepy video technology> installed in people's homes for <nothing bad ever happened doing that>helping them live healthier, happier lives whilst partially clothed</nothing bad ever happened doing that>. We've raised <large amount of VC measured in hundreds of millions> that guarantees <anybody with equity is so diluted they'll never see a payout>, with that <equity on a stick dangled out in front, we think we can convince you to take a lower salary>."
