That.... was just Facebook's idea. I don't know any other company apart from those founded by former Facebook employees that took the monicker seriously.
A more mainstream paradigm was 'disrupt!' as in disrupt old industries, by applying the rules in ways that they couldn't aided by technology that they are disinclined to use. For instance Uber used 'disrupt!' as the centerpiece of their business, by acting as contracting service for limo companies, before finally expanding the definition of 'limo' to include any Toyota made after 2015.

- siruncledrew 8y agoFacebook may have invented the slogan, but others still took the concept and ran with it. There's various incubators in SV that repeat that same mantra to startups because they heard it from one of the big boys (Facebook) or read about it in some VC Medium post. I'm not pointing fingers, but just saying that even in such innovative places people will still blindly follow those paradigms like it's conditioning.
