I deleted my FB a while ago and it truely helped my online mental health. The fb feed was full of false news and hate speech. I reported as much as I could but nothing happening. There wasn't any regulations and I felt more toxic on the contents. I am not gonna lie there was a positive side like knowing the news instantly but It's not worth it apparently.
Money is an important factor. I think in the startup ecosystem money comes second. Validating idea, iteration over it and making it market fit is a long process. Making money comes after that.
I work at a startup in India. I saw many articles on quitting jobs from big companies and pursuing dreams. I was very curious to know how are they balancing their work and life. Creating a startup is very difficult than a job at the company. Unless it's a high funded startup, most of the founders handle all the department. The stress is very high. Iteration over the product idea is another thing that makes crazy. How are you guys manage all that? But passion is a fancy word!!!
