    Turns out if you don’t have shareholders to report to, you can focus on making things better for consumers rather than squeezing every last penny out of them.

        Whooaahhhhhhhhh there, bucko, let’s slow the fuck down there. There are PLENTY of terrible private companies out there! OpenAI, Anthropic, Pulte, and Kiewit come to mind.

          That sounds like most of the terrible private companies are just companies that want to go public.

      Yeah just squeezing every penny from developers instead.

      You don’t afford a fleet of yachts without stealing something from someone.
