I just think you need to flesh out your case more. What exactly is your beef? That they are operating something that doesn't have value, but burning VC cash? Perhaps the niche you're operating in simply isn't profitable?
Seems like you're arguing that VC are funding something worthless or not worth much... but that you should be getting paid for building the same product?
I'm a nobody in this field but know enough about you to get that you're extremely productive and talented. Why not go this route:
Plenty of so called "lifestyle" businesses that make plenty of money. Of course it's not that easy, but find a niche and build a great product. Pure tech plays like cloud deployment infrastructure seems to be operating at such a hyper-competitive level, that there's no way to avoid either big VC money, or Google/Amazon themselves.
