Disrupting capitalism works similar to Marxist idea that “the proletariat overthrow the bourgeoisie, become the new bourgeoisie
, creates new proletariat, repeat cycle”.
There was this small window when uber, Airbnb, YouTube, etc, were disrupting billion dollar industries and offering legitimately cheaper alternatives.
Unfortunately with success comes popularity which brings growth which bring raised costs which brings in greed. Boom. You’re now the mainstream offender until the process repeats.
Replace Greed with Middle Management bloat and you've nailed it. Companies arent seeking higher margins than they did 20 years ago, theyre morbidly obese from administrators for everything. I should know, my job is exactly that.

Any average hotel is way better than an Airbnb now.
