996 is just theater for investors.

Saw this happening even at YC companies. There was always that stupid expectation of overworking, staying until 9.

The reality is that people twiddle thumbs.

And the disorganization and micromanagement power plays are enough to negate any additional worked hour.

This ranges from pure disorganization in terms of what to build to having 3 hour meetings with the whole fucking company where the CEO pretends they have something worthwhile to say for 3 hours.

what do you mean "even at YC companies" - they are the first to jump on any bandwagon hype train VC's are on.

100%. You can identify what fads are going to hit critical mass based on the amount of YC companies pushing that same particular thing.
