You know, it's true, but I'm included. Yesterday, when I tried to tell my wife something about WeWork, she pointed this out to me. I realized that it is basically the same as when Theranos was cratering, and I was way more interested than I should have been.

I keep seeing "wework isn't a tech company", yet there is definitely an obsession here as if they were.

I think the fascination with WW on HN is because of how deftly they've used the "tech company" image to shield themselves from criticisms that their valuation is far removed from their reality of their gargantuan losses.

For better or worse, they are a powerhouse and are changing the landscape of corporate retail.
