Seriously? Still Pushing This Crap?

Oh, joy. TechCrunch Disrupt 2025 is happening again. And naturally, they’re screaming about “last chance” ticket savings like it’s some kind of goddamn emergency. Apparently, if you don’t cough up your cash in the next 48 hours (as of today, September 25th, 2025), you’ll be paying *more* to sit in a room with people pitching ideas that will inevitably fail. They’re dangling discounts – standard, early bird, and student rates – but let’s be real, it’s still money down the drain for most of you.

It’s in San Francisco, October 1-3rd. Expect a lot of forced networking, overhyped startups, and venture capitalists pretending to care about things other than their ROI. They’ve got some speakers listed – mostly people who already *made* it, so prepare for a whole lotta humblebragging. There’s also the Startup Battlefield thing again, where hopefuls get publicly humiliated or briefly celebrated before fading into obscurity.

Look, if you have money to burn and enjoy being surrounded by relentless optimism, go ahead. But don’t come crying to me when your “revolutionary” app idea gets crushed under the weight of reality. I’m just saying. It’s a conference. A *very expensive* conference.

Don’t say I didn’t warn you.
