You need to own stuff that others value
I'm sorry to ask such elementary questions, but why do others value it?
Amazon: people like books; people like next day delivery of stuff; people and companies like making stuff and running stuff in Amazon web services
Minecraft: Marcus Persson owned the game studio (and wrote quite a bit of the game) that made Minecraft, lots of people like it, Microsoft was willing to buy it for billions
Kiran Mazumdan-Shaw made beer, people like beer. They then used beer making processes to make biotech medicines - people like being alive and will pay a lot to stay alive, or even just a bit healthier
It's not an elementary question.
Best I can guess is: plenty of people, plenty of reasons. Which is a stupid answer.
This all seems very far removed from other people's concerns about worker exploitation
Is that a problem?
What about their concerns? Are their concerns not a problem?
