~~Owned~~ directly funded by Bozos who will gain majority the moment it is opportunistic
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I just looked it up and he's just an investor, not the owner.
He's still involved with the company though but I wanted to clear that up so we aren't accidentally spreading misinformation π
Since when are investors not owners?
Yes but the company is Amazon through and through, its being led by ex-Amazonians

It'd be surprising if he wasn't a majority investor
And if it is successful, how long before he sits on the board?
Such a bummer because its perfect otherwise
I know
Yup. No thanks.
No it isn't.
Fixed for those that don't understand these are basically the same
Had my attention until realizing this. Don't need to find out this thing has a subscription to unlock the doors or something.
Yep, I expect they wait for success then flip a subscription switch
