    They are about 2 years too late.

    The rise in interest rates and the end of easy VC money has swung the dial back to: Companies actually need to generate profit and not just show user growth to be attractive to investors.

    The IPO will not go as spez dreamed for so long.

      I agree. The economy is shit right now and I would be amazed that anyone in their right mind would invest in a company whose already lost half their value in just a few years (at least, that’s what I’ve heard. They supposedly went from 10B to 5.5B or something like that). And like you said, interest rates are a factor as well.

      The mods are jumping ship or just straight up abandoning the site, and the slew of NSFW content, real or not, is damaging its advertisement potential. It’s a lemon.
