AITA for wishing their IPO to be a complete failure ? Like, the stock dropping 90% on the first day ?
NTA. They’ve tried to screw us all for money and if there’s any justice in the world they’re about to find out what made their site so attractive to investors the hard way. Fuck ‘em.
feeling like an asshole for wishing corporate douchbags to fail is your capitalistic conditioning acting up. If their IPO makes reddit and their portfolio take a nosedive, then that's on them. They took the risk, they can live with the consequences. Gosh, perhaps some of them will be forced to work a normal job again, like the rest of us
Only people I feel for is the workers at Reddit. Not their fault their boss is an asshole.
Thing is, the only people that lose at that point at the buyers, not reddit itself
