Back in the day everyone wanted an adult-oriented MySpace offshoot. MySpace was like browsing without adblock in aesthetic design majority of the time and ran by teens.
FB picked up because you needed a college email first, and it wasn't some weirdo ass site like something specifically for dating. It was a professional looking take on social media, and mostly limited to adults, which there was a huge demand for at the time.
you're saying everybody like everybody that was 50 years old had a myspace account. they didnt. but ya daddy is on facebook right now. ya granpappy is on FB right now.
but i hear what you're saying. sure there was some things out there. It wasnt from scratch. good point. i was just trying to make an overall point.
if you find a business owner who created his business based on an idea of something that was never in the market before this moment. Then in the early stages of this company HE created the room for where jobs would be created to make his product/service. but after that initial push from his idea. the remaining will be dictated by the consumers. now sure some owner could just hire and hire and hire and keep hiring even though the demand isnt that high nor are the units/service hours that high. in that case, yes the owner foolishly is creating jobs. Foolishly because he wont be able to sustain his business doing that. are their actual owners who hire people out of the kindness of their hearts vs based on the bottom line? YEP. and they usually pay for it in their pockets. But if it makes them sleep well at night. go ahead. lets call it charity. I would rather give a person a job then $20.00 when i see you at the FWY entrance. so there's that.
but for the most part. Jobs are not CREATED by business owners.
Some business owners and hope to be business owners like this idea because it makes them feel even more special than they already are. In addition it gives them props for more or less putting themselves out there to create the business to begin with.
Business owners are risk takers. thats a fact. now most businesses do fail. so that means most business owners are Bad risk takers. meaning for whatever reason(i know some of them.) They keep choosing the wrong business model, the wrong marketing schemes(or non at all), choosing the wrong product to sell(already saturated or no one ever asked for this..at least not yet- you can be too far ahead of the curve), wack product(get a ya quality control up), Were you meaning to sell something that was based on at the moment hype ( a fad) you know like championship t-shirts or wakanda t shirts?(this is still a legit business but you can't make real money doing that same T forever.), etc, etc.
So because business owners are risk takers and they are usually the ones early on who will take the biggest L if the thing doesnt work out. They want some more love for taking those risks. So they latch onto the silly idea that they create all the jobs.
And just in case some of yall still are fighting the fact that the consumer creates the need for more supply therefore creating a situation where the business has to hire more people to produce more stuff in order to sell more goods/services.
Look no further than Subway and Toys R US.
If the consumer doesnt create the job. how is it that the consumer is the #1 reason for subtracting the job?
Even when a business says I want to go overseas to get cheaper labor or I want to automate more to have less workers. He is still doing this based on the consumers wanting a lot of product and probably for the same price at it currently is, or a cheaper price.
Toys R Us

^we the consumers did that. back when i was a kid. Toys R us was one of thee only if not thee only BIG Toy retail chains. there was no amazon. So to get those toys you were going to get them from Toys R Us. kaybees wasnt that big and we know they fell off quick back in the late 90's early 2000's if my memory serves me correct.
The moment we(consumer) realized we could get the same toys from Amazon for probably a cheaper price and have it delivered to the house or delivered to the person you were buying a gift for. It was a wrap for the brick and mortar Toys R Us stores. So we the consumer have just cut jobs from a company named Toys R us and just Added Jobs to a company named Amazon.
Sorry Business owners. Its the consumer. Sorry wannabe business owners. It's the consumer that creates most jobs.
Subway
Why Subway is closing hundreds of restaurants in the US
they call it pruning. Some population movement in america has made some of the subway stores a lot less lucrative. while others can't keep up with the demand. or they have too many subways in a small area.
all this is based on consumers consuming subway's items. the more consumers the more subways in that area. less consumers, less number of subways in that area. once again another example of CONSUMERS creating the jobs. not some business owner just snapping his or her finger.
