Full Metal Archaeopteryx@damianogerli how did they not see that coming?

Entirely possible that they might have been in dire straights, deep in the red to the point where they couldn't have continued paying their staff anyway, and tried something that didn't work out in order to attempt to continue the service.
Not saying this is the case, but these types of viral schadenfreude-porn stories have a tendency of having more details come out weeks later that make it make a lot more sense.
@arcdrag @echanda @DelilahTech @damianogerli Could be. Headlines often don't tell the whole story. I was also in a business that was a sinking ship going without pay for weeks on end so I can relate. We were told to tough it out. The investors pulled all funding spitefully because they thought we weren't working hard enough and weren't giving enough return on their investments so we needed more motivation. If it's paying fair wages that stops business there's probably something else wrong.
regphunt@DelilahTech @damianogerli AI would have seen it.
Steve Popovich@regphunt Stevie Wonder could have seen that coming.
