Don’t know, I feel like I’ve watched every tech company get through every controversy without consequence.

Google when they merged YouTube and Google+, Reddit multiple times, Facebook after countless scandals. Microsoft destroying windows and pushing ads.

At the end of the day a solid product and company can withstand online controversy.

A product with a massive moat. Switching from Claude to another competitor is insanely easy and without much loss of quality. Until they’ve built their moat, burning goodwill is foolish.

What’s different is it’s probably required due to the cash that’s being burnt to operate. They can’t afford to keep offering so much for so little revenue.

At the end of the day, unenforced anti-competition regulations can bulldoze controversies.
