Scriptkiddies doing the bare-minimum to profit over other's hard-work. They're not going to survive, because they don't know shit about the internal workings of their product, they won't be able to scale it quickly, and sooner or later, they'll run out of money, if it's not the poor publicity killing their product.

They're not going to survive

Alexander Bell stole the telephone.

Edison regularly stole inventions from Tesla among others.

Steve Jobs fucking mind raped Woz.

The American Dream is taking someone else's hard work and profiting off of it.
