Let's not use so much lip gloss on this particular pig.
Many startups are just building some shitty apps that exploit labor in this horrible gig economy while they are kept afloat with VC money until they are dumped into the general public via IPO. This marketing fluff has no place here.
Venture capitalists and startup founders are playing the apex of capitalism. Failure and risk is part of the game. Being saved with taxpayer money is antithetical to that.
