Money grab via IPO. During covid Reddit saw all the crap companies going public and making bank and tried to get in too, but the bubble popped before they could close a deal. Now they are trying again while things are on the upturn and investors are more willing

I wouldn't touch this IPO when it does happen, major rug-pull vibes
