Companies don't make products for customers anymore. They make sinkholes for rich peoples money. The reason everything feels like a scam is because it is. Everyone is scamming everyone else in every possible direction. The VC companies are scaming entrepreneurs by fuedalizing owning a business. The entrepreneurs are scamming their customers by creating a product that moves a metric that they then sell to a private or public equity firm. Those companies scam investors by selling stock without dividends. Those investors scam other investors ad infinitum by selling them the idea of an even bigger sucker. And the government scams people with money by saying if you don't do something with it they will take it away from you through taxes and inflation.
All of this is propped up by the middle and lower class, and even lower class in nondeveloped countries.
