My startup didn't disrupt anything. It didn't add any new members to the three-comma club. It was never a unicorn. Even worse: There are still, after all these years, less than fifty people working at Basecamp. We don't even have a San Francisco satellite office!
I know what you're thinking, right? BOOOORING. Why am I even listening to this guy? Isn't this supposed to be a conference for the winners of game startup? Like people who've either already taken hundreds of million in venture capital or at least are aspiring to? Who the hell in their right mind would waste more than a decade toiling away at a company that doesn't even have a pretense of an ambition for Eating The World.
Well, the reason I'm here is to remind you that maybe, just maybe, you too have a nagging, gagging sense that the current atmosphere of disrupt-o-mania isn't the only air a startup can breathe. That perhaps this zeal for disruption is not only crowding out other motives for doing a startup, but also can be downright poisonous for everyone here and the rest of the world.

The existing "giants" (Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, Twitter) eat up most users' screen time and cell data, and their network effects make it tough to justify posting content elsewhere. The only recent "breakout" with lasting traction was TikTok, which built off Musical.ly's user base and is still spending billions on marketing.
