I'd rather have 10 entrepreneurs passionately engaged in their genuine interest to improve lives, than 10,000 entrepreneurs racing and competing with each other to see who can exploit more people and extract more wealth for themselves.


The 10 will all be born rich

And almost no startups extract or exploit. The reason Europe is so poor and not growing is because of this dark turn toward zero sum thinking. Startups literally create new wealth, it's not taken from somewhere (except rare cases of fraud or scams)


Ads exist in Europe just as much as they do in the US (unfortunately). Even the restrictions on tracking are a very recent (and welcome) change.
