I’m afraid it might be more like Uber, or Funko, apparently, as I just learned tonight.

Sustained somehow for decades before finally turning any profit. Pumped full of cash like it’s foie gras by Wall Street. Inorganic as fuck, promoted like hell by Wall Street, VC, and/or private equity.

Shoved down our throats in the end.
