    Sunk cost is a hell of a drug. I’d bet if we could see their actual revenue you’d see the shift from individual purchases to more and more whales sinking money into it, that’s what they’re banking on. It might have started as an ambitious project, but it’s definitely a full blown grift with some “keep up appearances” icing on top.

    And this recent stream showed everyone that the icing tastes like shit.
