Having mainstream news sources reporting on this -- especially more financially-oriented ones like Forbes -- is actually a pretty good sign. Even though I am enjoying Lemmy more now that I have tried it anyway.

Just a heads up that with their loosely moderated contributor model, you can find anything on Forbes these days. Up to and including outright scams and misinformation. It's a far cry from the reputable source it once was.

One article of many.

I thought so too. Been searching news sites since yesterday waiting to see when investors were going to chime in.

Betcha spez is in a well-deserved crisis mode rn.

Still ain’t gonna back down.

Humans are paradoxically really good at adaptation, and also not admitting mistakes. Dude is singularly responsible for the biggest PR fumble in Reddit history and seemingly has zero self awareness despite being at the center of it.

How do you mean good sign? I don’t think they can put the genie back in the bottle at this point.

I assume this is "good" as in the protest is having the effect we want.
