"If all she had to do was say this was a beta or whatever and all of us would be using it, would be loving it."

This argument doesn't make any sense. It wasn't a beta, nor an alpha, nor anything.

It was just a marketing gag without any substance or technology. As part of an alpha or beta, you need an actual pathway to a full release.

There was literally nothing. If this were released as a beta after having raised lots of money, people would call this a scam outright, because it didn't do anything new or more efficient.
