Name the last time a profitable startup product genuinely saved you time when you subtract out the time-value of what you also paid, the hassle of setting it up, the email drip campaigns that waste micro-moments of your day... I don't think there has ever been one in the consumer market, ever, that is actually a net positive. Across the board they take more than they give. And for any example, I could posit that an open source solution (whether it exists or not) would be a better product and more of a net positive. B2B sure, there are plenty of examples, but that's just capitalists making capitalism tools for other capitalists. These aren't tools that benefit society so it's a poor example. We use these products because we have no other choice, not because they are optimal for our situation. Even our need for them is often carefully and artificially crafted by corporations, whose ultimate goal is for us to have no choice but to give them money. They would prefer we derive little to no value from their products, because if they can force us to pay anyway, that is much cheaper to manage.
