There are painkillers and vitamins as analogies to the problem | Startups & Ventures

There are painkillers and vitamins as analogies to the problems people pay to solve. There are critical problems(painkillers), and there are not such significant problems(vitamins). However, they aren't so black and white. Here's a good analogy I found on Reddit:

- TurboTax - painkiller
- Dropbox - vitamin
- LinkedIn/Facebook - methamphetamine (makes you paranoid and look busy without being productive)
- Fortnite - nitrous oxide (feels good but causes brain damage)
- Coinbase - vaccine (resistance to inflation)
- Oculus - lsd (transports you somewhere else)
- X1 - dental floss (finds the thing you know is there)
- Ad block - sunscreen (protects you from harmful bombardment)
- Reddit - cigarettes (an unhealthy way to kill five minutes)
