Surely it must only be about finding the greater fool, and nothing
about actually creating value.

It absolutely is, where "finding the greater fool" is defined as
"juicing the numbers just long enough to pull off an IPO, and scampering
off before the resulting twisted steroid mutant collapses into flaming
ruin."

Unfortunately, this model is absolutely *epidemic* these days (in the
US, at least.) Ed Zitron - https://www.wheresyoured.at/ - has written
quite a bit in the last few years about the deleterious effects this
has had on the tech industry.
