Misleading title: these guys weren't kicked out for publishing a negative blog post, they were kicked out for sharing WeWork internal data publicly, which violates the terms under which they got the data.

Here's the blog post:

(I flagged the article because the title is a lie at present)

It's particularly nauseating to take a screen short of their "internal proprietary social network".

A sense of trust is one of the most difficult things to build within a gathering of peer companies like WeWork has tried to do, and one bad actor poisons the whole well.

Loads briefly and then redirects to medium.com for me.

Yeah, medium posts do that when using the wayback machine. I normally just hit the browser stop button as soon as the text loads. You miss out on images but you can still read it.

The way I got around it is by disabling javascript.

The article title itself was very recently edited to include this information. (I cannot edit the HN title)
