Here we go again: Some company (in this case, Bitwarden) "betrayed" its customers by doing what every other firm does. And Hn goes brrr over it. I wonder, aren't the majority of HNers working at a for-profit company funded by VCs?

The hypocrisy is just intolerable at this point.

they're probably over-represented given that this is an incubator-adjacent forum but startups are vastly outnumbered by both mature businesses as well as bog-standard privately owned businesses so probably not.

Most firms don't get a hundred million dollars up front, they grow products and revenue just like everyone else, with significantly fewer distortions to users or business models.


I guess I might be now that the directors of our little company have sold it, but I assure you I am substantially more mad about that sale than I am about the Bitwarden one.
