"the way startups spew forth their good intentions without recognizing the underlying goal of making money makes the whole industry feel unnecessarily slimy."

"the way startups spew forth their good intentions without recognizing the underlying goal of making money makes the whole industry feel unnecessarily slimy." I'm not sure I understand this. I find it hard to believe that a large portion of startups don't internally recognize the importance of making money. Sure, their public rhetoric might not be centered around the their profit goals for this quarter, but how does that make the industry slimy?
