Company

Food delivery marketplace with fees stacked on restaurants and riders; convenience for diners, thin margins and policy fights everywhere else.

Legacy OTA family: bundling, member pricing, and supplier terms tilt the stack toward the intermediary.

Printers sold cheap and recovered through ink: firmware that blocks third-party cartridges and subscription ink that stops working when you cancel.

Premium multi-room speakers whose 2024 app rewrite broke features owners had paid for; years later the company is still cutting staff and rebuilding trust.

Developer-first payments rails: pricing is real, but docs and APIs still deliver strong surplus to builders versus legacy processors.

Secondary ticket marketplace—liquidity and buyer protection on one side, fees and volatile pricing on the other.

High fees, poor transparency, and an illegal monopoly leave fans worse off than a competitive market would.
