More evidence Big Tech valuations are driven primarily by worker exploitation. Keep 'em coming.

  Since when did doordash count as big tech?

    They're not FAANG or MANGA, but they're certainly at the top of <a href="https://www.ycombinator.com/companies">https://www.ycombinator.com/companies with 8600 employees and an $82B market cap (as of this comment, ticker DASH). Is "Big Tech" reserved only for the "FAANG MANGA"? If so, my apologies.

    Yeah that's not big tech. $1 trillion market cap is big tech or 30k+ employees.
    This is upper end of mid sized.
    No yc alum counts as big tech
