I disagree that it looked like pets.com. One key difference is pets.com is public and got money from common people. Fast got money from highly sophisticated VCs. They all made calculated bet. No VCs would tell you their deals have 100% success. Employees that join are highly educated. They also know that it is a startup with high failure chance. Much higher than FAANG. Every educated person knows this. And it is normal to be disappointed when a bet doesn't work out.
