Oh. Yeah. That's how SV works. (I didn't know about this particular story though... must have missed it). It's basically just another variant of a dark pattern. They're everywhere. It's basically what fast growth is

It's too bad that we're focusing on this kind of event, because it gives people a false impression of the reality on the ground. The fact is that right now there are whole families that are being displaced out of their homes and
