    303 2nd St is EXPENSIVE office space. I live about a block away and my old company used to rent a floor there. We were profitable and it was too expensive for us. If they get evicted a scant couple months after moving into the new space I will laugh my ass off.

    As someone who came from a similar background and started on BBSs and Usenet, this is a very insightful post that I hope people internalize. The "enshittification" of what came before was a process that took a long time in many cases and with less of a factor of a specific group of people pushing a culture or taste this experience has a chance to grow into something completely different.
