I’d bet dollars to donuts that’s exactly the reason. And the minute they start goin public, the enshittification will occur.

That's what was happening so Gabe took it private again.

Maybe I'm wrong but I've got the horrible feeling that once Gabe dies the enshittification begins.

Enjoy it while it lasts. Capitalism will definitely suck out all joy out of life eventually but we can still have a little bit of fun here on the verge.

I mean, the second someone is a billionaire from the business they run, the enshitifaction has begun because that money comes from somewhere.

Gabe has been a billionaire a while now. Like $9.5B net worth with a yacht collection.
