Is this a joke? I keep seeing this sentiment on this comment section but this is the complete opposite of my experience in Europe ( don't live there anymore though). Maybe it was just France, but every single inconsequential start up was labelled as the next Google and every city was the new SV. every tiny corporation had to have its army of "cadres" and European businesses' love for countless "initiatives" , buzzwords, blockchain, greenwashing... And so on would make American big tech look downright bullshit free in comparison.

I'm not American and even then it left me with a weird feeling of little man syndrome.
