I can totally feel this. Luckily there’s Kiwi!
don't we all? :D I feel like this every few months. There are a few decent things like kiwi, or paragraph or fileverse but for each of those always a load of BS.
I also believe it's a common sentiment, but I think the conclusion is unfair. There are a lot of innovations and lessons learned from all the failures. Yes, the failures are much more painful, and greed continues to be the main reason why things fail so badly. Plus, we are attracted by stories like this rather than the positive success stories involving hard work, and the rebuilding that is done after a failure.
