A lot of this model is due to the churn of VC companies toxic entry into overtaking and consuming companies... They often force out old company leadership, create & impose hostile policies and requirements on employees the make them leave so that operations will be left as bare-bones and over-stressed operations that just serve to feed investor profits... Our current IT ecosystem, especially in the contracting world is run mostly by finance experts rather than tech visionaries, and it's showing in the outcomes, this is why we don't see truly disruptive inventions like Twitter and iPhones anymore... And why monthly subscriptions are swooping their way into everything, even basic tools like calculator apps, and car starters and seat heating... Foolishness & Insanity.
