This person is desperately trying to convince themself. Once the finance capitalists gain control they will be steering the company. They don’t care about long term profits if they can squeeze high short term profits. They don’t give a shit about the company, especially in tech. They’ll sell off any IP (or keep it for their collection) when it’s time for bankruptcy and move on to the next target.

Agree. The person who wrote the article is Avery Pennarun, co-creator of tailscale. I’ve heard him in interview ; he’s very smart, both technically, and in high picture thinking.
But… Missing the point that VC money is cursed because they don’t care if your product is good, successful or a boon to others, is a bit naive.
