Consensus building is a real thing that happens every day all the time. Most of us here who self-identify as "engineers" or "hackers" don't truly understand this - when we code, we rarely build actions by proxy, there are usually very explicit instructions being written and therefore we bias ourselves to assuming the rest of the world also works in an explicit, up-front way. This "startup" had a shady business model and sounds fishy as hell, but sadly every day some group, person, or org is trying to consensus-build us to thinking and feeling in a certain way.
