Gonna be real with you because I work directly with these companies in helping do this type of thing exactly: it's astromically high already, and nowhere near profitable. It's all startup grift.

"It's already bad so we might as well make it incredibly worse" is not a very compelling argument IMO.

I'm suggesting that we should not do the thing that will make everything incredibly worse.
