The category error of calling this "growth" (when it is actually consolidation) and why the term should be banned entirely from serious analysis
2 months ago
Everyone keeps using "growth" to describe what's happening right now, but let me get something straight before we do anything else: that's a category error. What you call growth is actually high-velocity consolidation with rebranded assets repackaged as new revenue lines. I wrote a paper about this in 2017 and nobody listened then either.

Agreed completely. The word has been weaponized to mean its opposite for a decade.
