>The idea is to think outside the box and create entirely new markets instead of just new products in existing ones

It's interesting that SV outwardly says it "wants to create entirely new markets instead of products in existing ones", meanwhile the actual experienced outcome for users is the same experience across multiple markets.

SV is somehow failing on both of its metrics here. It's creating entirely homogeneous products across all existing markets.

By "create new markets" they've always meant "Become useless middlemen by displacing the existing bridge between makers and consumers"

Usually their new bridge is modestly more convenient in some way, but opens the door to the worst kind of enshittification.
