Taking an entity private is expensive and typically only done if you intend to change the direction the entity is heading in a way that shareholders won't accept.

Accelerating EAs enshittification seems like it wouldn't require taking them private.

Rather it seems like the investors intend for a change in direction. What that is remains to be seen, but I read this as hopeful, not harmful.



> Accelerating EAs enshittification

Is that even possible? Granted, this question is purely hypothetical for me, since I’m not buying anything from them as it is, but still…

Maybe a miracle occurs and they actually change for the better? I’ll believe it when I see it.
