I don't think it has gone wrong so much as that when you become successful you attract a lot of carpetbaggers and haters. When someone talked about startups in 2005, it was because they cared about startups. But you can't assume that in 2020.

It seems a more plausible theory that the domain is the root of the problem. I.e. that the problems caused by social apps are due to their being social apps, rather than because they were startups.
My guess is that many if not most of the problems you see in Facebook, for example, would still be there if it had been started by a group at Microsoft. E.g. the use of it to influence elections. Microsoft products are not famous for being unhackable. Rather the opposite.

Okay, well, I asked if you have reflected and I guess the answer is yes you have, but that you don't think the pathologies of tech have had anything to do with the startup world and its imperatives, limitations or culture. I disagree and am amazed, but thank you for replying.
