One guy I used to work with (long before LLMs) built a website for his company and listed a bunch of software there for sale. Except he hadn’t built any software product yet. Once someone contacted him about buying one of the products, then he would build it.
Blitzscaling. The enshittification comes once the userbase is stable and the company can’t keep bullshitting investors about possible future gains so they have to start cutting.

Just bullshit your way until you get enough money and resources to actually hire people who know what they’re doing and can build the thing.
It sucks
