I think the way many people get schadenfreude watching crypto crash, I get equally watching startups crash. So many people were loudly proclaiming what geniuses they were for understanding that all the mattered were network effects and hyper growth and that cashflow was for suckers. And it's not that there aren't cases where that's a valid model but it was used in so many obviously stupid cases. So, just honestly kind of enjoyable to watch it crash and burn.
