There are very few corporations that have proved me wrong.

    Founder led business, it won't last 2 ceos after Gabe exits.

    This just the corp culture in the US. Parasites swarm companies to destroy them for profit.

    Exactly. It is getting more common to set up non-profit foundations in such situations. Disclosure: There’s a lot of legal stuff I don’t understand but I think the idea is that by having a non-profit entity that is focused on the “mission” and not profits, they will be more able to make the good long-term, decisions a founder might make instead of whatever makes investors the most money.

    I will probably get downvoted because Lemmy has a hate boner for Discord, but they don't sell any user data.
